APPEAL: AVERAGE
A firefly is
lost and the reader is asked to help out with finding her way home. There are
many false leads from the moon to a train. The reader shows the firefly how to
fly really fast by flapping their hands and later is asked to make a wish. The
illustrations are large and simple.
A lovely story
which asks not only for the readers help but helps them to think about what
lights up at night. Children who have never seen a firefly would have trouble
relating but it could be made part of a lesson about fireflies with a video
clip. The illustrations are all at night but show a wide variety of hues and
are very beautiful.
