      Mia Posada created a great non-fiction story of the life of Ladybugs in her book Ladybugs: Red, Fiery, and Bright. From the opening title and pictures I feel that any child would love to open the book and read more.Mia helps to introduce new words into the children’s vocabulary but does it in a way that is easily understandable. She describes the word before she lists the word and I feel that sometimes helps the children learn the word better. The book is done in pictures that look as if they’ve been painted. She takes the life of a ladybug and instead of using true real life pictures she tells the story through paintings. I feel that this could benefit a child’s learning because they might see the real pictures and get bored realizing that they’re learning something.Posada provides a lot of information about the life of a ladybug. None of the pages are overwhelming with text or a busy picture. The pictures are very simplistic and normally just include a picture of one single ladybug sitting on a leaf or doing what has been said in the text on the page. The text is very simple and easy to understand.I feel that you could read this book to as young as first grade. The children will struggle with the larger vocabulary but because Posada describes the words in good detail I feel that a younger age could read through the book.Posada has written and illustrated other children’s books about the cycle of life. She has done books on what’s growing inside an egg, robins, and dandelions. She is a fairly recent author with her first book being published in 2000. I would like to use her books in my classroom. I feel that they could be of good use in a free time activity. One of the classrooms I taught in had a free time where they were to read a book. I feel that this would be a good book to have them read and later take a short quiz on. There is a lot of information in the book and the children learn the life of a ladybug.
