The Very Lonely Firefly

The Very Lonely Firefly
By Eric Carle
Published by Philomel (1999)
Reading Level: Baby-Preschool
Pages: 14
Genre: Picture book

Summary: A firefly is born and he is lonely so he goes in search of other fireflies. He sees a light bulb, a flashlight, a lantern, several sets of eyes, car headlights, and fireworks. But he can't find other fireflies. After everything is dark he sees flashing lights and finds other fireflies and isn't lonely anymore.

My Reaction: It was a delightful book! The pictures were amazing and i loved the flashing lights on the last page.

Potential Problems: None

Recommendations: I would recommend reading this to infants on up. I think elementary kids would love reading this themselves because of the flashing lights at the end.
