As the book works its way up to 10, the wide-eyed, black-and-red beetles pop against pale taupe backgrounds and lightly sketched props. One of two bicycle-riding ladybugs does a handstand on the handlebars of its bike, while four aerialists soar from the trapeze and astonish everyone. Each number appears as both a word and a numeral, and while the text is fairly straightforward, it still creates a light sense of excitement around the ladybugs' performances. The book ends on an off note--somewhat literally--as ladybug #10 leaps into a circle of nine beetles and begins playing a tune by a famous French wind artist (music notes emanate from the beetle's backside). <b>A quirky counting book that's mostly distinguished by van Genechten's entertaining crew of strong men, acrobats, and jugglers</b>. Ages 3-5. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p>Straightforward action and pace give the counting some momentum. Clever illustrations, featuring solid, chunky ladybugs amid delicate sketches of circus ... bicycles and a trapeze, create a visual counterpoint that will keep young eyes interested, as do the red and black hues that dominate the thick, sturdy pages. -- <i>Jesse Karp, booklistonline.com</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Guido Van Genechten</b> (1957, Belgium) studied drawing and painting, graphics and photography.
