10 Little Ladybugs or was it the 10 Little Ladybug Massacre!

Has anyone read this book written by Melanie Gerth? Great book, my babies love it, it is their absolute favorite out of all their stories. However the first time I read it I thought to myself wow this book is heading in a real dark direction as 1 by 1 the poor little ladybugs were being snatched up and allegedly eaten by frogs, birds and ducks then one of the ladybug who I thought was going to be the luckiest of all its counterpart by golly the wind blew him/her away.
Do I really want to continue reading this book to the kids, are all the ladybugs really going to die? Will the babies remember this and then have to see a shrink as they were traumatized by their mother for reading them the ladybug massacre at such a tender age . Well I thought this is just a chance we were all willing to take as its never too early to teach your kids to finish what they started right??
I think they were enjoying seeing the little bugs disappear :)
Well thank goodness as we turned the last page lo and behold all the little buggers I mean ladybugs appeared woo hoo ...
So here's for story time and happy endings
Check in tomorrow
