I love this book. It is a cute story line. But what really made them pick this book repeatedly is that at the end a few fireflies light up! So cute!

This is a beautiful hardcover copy. With a battery this book lights up on the last page.However, It is a beautifully illustrated book as it is.

For those who have seen them Fireflies are beetles whose bodied light up during the summer.They are miraculous Creatures whom light up in large groups in the dark and are a temptation for children to catch.

One evening a little firefly was born at sunset and flew off into the sky. He flashed his lights looking for other Fireflies. The firefly flew towards a light thinking it was a firefly, but it was a light bulb and the story goes on.It is a great read.
