Firefly's First Flight 2 reviews Joanne Barkan
Reader's Digest, 2005
Beautiful bedtime book
+ Beloved book--battery problem!
This warm story of a mother firefly allaying her child's fears of the dark is basic enough for even the youngest to grasp and is a perfect bedtime book. Heavy cardboard pages make it easy for tiny fingers to turn and the working firefly light offers interaction and imbues a soft, amber light on ...

Caterpillar Spring, Butterfly Summer 3 reviews Susan Hood
Reader's Digest, 2003
Babies and Toddlers will Love this Book!
+ Pleased 18-month-old + This Book is WONDERFUL!!!!!
This is such a cool book! When you open the first page the caterpillar (which looks like a slinky with green cloth covering it) comes out and as you turn the pages he stays a caterpillar until the very last page when you turn the page the caterpillar disappears and out pops a beautiful butterfly!

Tadpole's Promise (Bccb Blue Ribbon Picture Book Awards (Awards)) 17 reviews Jeanne Willis
Atheneum/Anne Schwartz Books, 2005
One of My Favorite Read Alouds
+ 4-year-old's favorite! + I didn't expect THAT ending
I teach fifth graders. I've this book to my class the past few years. After each reading, the class has been completely silent. Eventually, someone will quietly ask, "Wait a minute, what happened?" Soon the room is buzzing with discussion. I can't ask for anything more than that.

Reader's Digest, 2004
A wonderful book - for child AND reader!
+ We LOVE this book + great book
What an enchanting book! The text weaves a great story with charming graphics and fun, somewhat tongue-twisting, rhymes. Who knew that cricket clicks could have so many nuances? :-)
My young daughter loves sticking her hand through the "holes" in the pages where the crickets go, and getting ...
