A rainy day can be a great day ... to bring the outside inside and let imagination take over!And a few dazzling costumes can lead to a full day of dress-up for the four little girls who know just what they would do if they were morning glories or toads or ladybugs or worms. But even the hardiest of garden creatures must sleep when night falls and the fireflies come to say goodnight ... Here are Miela Ford and Anita Lobel at their mesmerizing best in a picture book to bring magic and light to any forecast -- or any time of day.
One night a very lonely firefly goes off in search of friends. Each time he sees a flicker of light he flies off toward it, but none of them turn out to be fireflies. He sees a lantern, an owl's eyes, even headlights shining in the darkness. Will the lonely firefly ever find creatures like himself? A classic in its own time, The Very Lonely Firefly is finally available in a beautiful board book format, perfect for the youngest readers and the smallest hands. And just as in the hardcover edition, the fireflies' lights actually light up, delighting children of all ages.
