Another beloved story about a single, lonely firefly comes from famous author and artist Eric Carle, the man behind The Very Hungry Caterpillar. A wonderful present to give to your kid or grandchildren.
A very lone firefly observes a lamp, a candle, and the sparkling eyes of a dog, cat, and owl as it ventures out into the night to find more fireflies. It even witnesses an unexpected festival of light. But it doesn't find precisely what it's seeking for until it comes across other fireflies—a surprise that will make anybody who turns the last page grin!
A storytime staple, The Very Lonely Firefly is richly illustrated with Eric Carle's signature colorful collage art, gently delivered with a soft read-aloud pace, and finished with a surprise that will "light up" children's cheeks. When reading it beneath the table or in the dark with a flashlight, see how the fireflies shine! Honors for The Extremely Alonesome Firefly:
"Carle's richly hued, collage-like art and gentle text will be comfortingly familiar to his numerous young devotees."-- Weekly Publishers
"This is a compelling accomplishment [and a] guaranteed winner as a read-aloud or read-alone."-- Journal of School Libraries
