I believe kids feel secure (safe even) and proud of themselves when they can anticipate the next line. Lots of smart, deliberate repetition of key words, phrases, and story patterns help children track what's happening, motivating them to attend. Carle's collage technique can be used to inspire collage-making (cutting and pasting). The art is special and interesting, but not confusing. Common urban animal (firefly) as main character. "This is a compelling accomplishment guaranteed winner as a read-aloud or read-alone."- School Library Journal "Carle's richly hued, collage-like art and gentle text will be comfortingly familiar to his numerous young devotees."- Publishers Weekly Read it with a flashlight in the dark or under the table-and watch those fireflies glow! Praise for The Very Lonely Firefly :
Lushly illustrated with Eric Carle's trademark vibrant collage art, soothingly told with a gentle read-aloud rhythm, and complete with a surprise sure to "light up" children's faces, The Very Lonely Firefly will fast become a storytime favorite. But it is not until it discovers other fireflies that it finds exactly what it's looking for-a surprise sure to bring smiles to anyone who turn the final page! It even sees a surprise celebration of light.
When a very lonely firefly goes out into the night searching for other fireflies, it sees a lantern, a candle, and the eyes of a dog, cat, and owl all glowing in the darkness. A perfect gift to share with the child or grandchild in your life. From bestselling author and illustrator Eric Carle, the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, comes another classic tale about one very lonely firefly.
