K-Gr 3—This simple, delightful story of two fireflies finding each other among thousands is sure to enchant children. A female firefly flashes in the night, hoping against odds to find her match, and she is successful. Written in verse, the text is lyrical yet simple enough for even the youngest readers to enjoy and short enough to be shared aloud in a group setting. The photographs are breathtaking, with close-ups of fireflies flashing in the night, and complement the dreamlike tone. Panoramic shots of a forest filled with flashes provide different perspectives. Educators hoping to tie this book to science curricula will appreciate the note at the end, which offers a scientific explanation of how a firefly's flashes function in the wild. VERDICT This enthralling look at fireflies will be enjoyed by all who read it.—Ellen Norton, Naperville Public Library, Naperville, IL
