Page #'s - 24
Rating - 4/5
The Very Lonely Firefly is a tale of a firefly who is looking for other fireflies. It keeps seeing lights, but they are just candles, flashlights, car headlights, or reflections of other animal's eyes. Finally the firefly finds a group of fireflies and is not lonely anymore.
The book has beautiful drawings with a very simple storyline. This book is for very young children like most of Eric Carle's work. In the end of the book, the firefly finds a group of fireflies and they actually light up by battery power. It is a very cool idea and I can see that feature alone really attracting children to the book.
