Fireflies

I also recently purchase the fireflies in a jar and this book is a good supplement to that. My preschool kids will now understand all about fireflies.

"Firefies in the Night"

The book "Fireflies in the Night" was a good introduction to beginning science for pre-schoolers because it uses a familiar phenomenon, the firefly, to teach about the concept of cool light as opposed to warm light. It was simply written to inform and not overly complex for the pre-schooler it was intended for, who is a curious 4-year old girl. She lives in Southern California and wanted to know about fireflies, which are not ordinarilly found where she lives. There are other books listed on the back cover which appeal to the young and curious scientist and are also worthwhile. The book arrived in tact and on time to present to my 4-year old granddaughter who is very inquisitive and loved receiving it and learning something new. Marie Teehan, Del Mar, CA

Fireflies in the Night

This book is about a young girl who visits who grandparents during the summer. Her grandparents live on a farm and know a lot about fireflies including how to catch and how to handle them. The young girl learns some interesting facts about the fireflies and how people in other countries use the light that fireflies provide. The grandfather explains how fireflies make their light; as well as the different light signals that males and females produce. This book can make readers eager to finish the page they are on, so that they can turn to the next page and learn another fascinating fact. It is a splendid introduction to fireflies!
