Featuring a selection of interesting firefly facts and just added - suggestions on ways parents and educators can use the engaging story to keep the learning going.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is gorgeous. I just adored it. It was so sweet to read about a father and daughter making amazing summer time memories together. It was a tender story about warm summer nights and catching fireflies, but then letting them go in a very sweet way. Such a wonderful story that brought a smile to my face and warmth into my heart. The illustrations were charming and sweet. I loved the puppy so much among all the other brilliant pictures and details. It is a perfect book for summer and one I cannot wait to use in my classes! The kids will love it. This book is sure to become a new classroom favorite!!!!
