MY THOUGHTS:

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

This sweet picture book is such a delight to read. It takes you into the world of a firefly who is lost. Mistaking several ‘human’ things as its home, such as a train, a lighthouse, stars in the sky… the poor firefly searches frantically to find its family and home.

The illustrations are adorable, bright and cheerful despite the sad story of being lost. Interaction with the book is shown through wishing, turning the page to hurry the firefly along to safety, etc.  Such a delight for the youngest of readers as an introduction to using the imagination through the encouragement of reading. I think I would have preferred at least two dimensional illustrations for this first-time reader. Other than that a wonderful book. Lots of blues, greens and slate colors used.
