The purpose of this book is to be a counting-by-fives book, and as such it does a nice job.  It’s got cute pictures of ladybugs, each with five spots on it’s shell, and a new ladybug joins each page, as a domino-style counter in the corner helps the reader count by fives.  The target numeral is hidden in the picture on each page (kids love hunting for hidden elements in the pictures).  It uses rhythm in the repetition of the counting on each page.  In addition, it has another features which could be used as teaching tools, such as alliteration and a repeating adjective-noun-verb-object sentence pattern which could be used in language lessons.  Unfortunately, the bilingual aspect of the book seems to have been a bit of an after-thought and is somewhat clunky at times:  the alliteration is lost and the sentence structure/rhythm don’t work as well.
