Tiny Tales: Firefly Night

Tiny Tales #3

by Steph Waldo

Spinning off HarperCollins’s beloved I Can Read series, I Can Read Comics is an early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers.

It’s hard to see in the dark…unless you’re Firefly! Will Firefly be able to show their friends the beautiful moonflower, or will sleep win the night?

Firefly Night also has a "Cartooning Basics" page at the front of the book and a "Nature Guide" page at the back, making it the whole package for emerging readers—and a great example of what I Can Read Comics is all about!

Tiny Firefly Night is a Level Three I Can Read Comic, meaning it’s a more complex story for independent readers.

Genres: Childrens, Adventure, Graphic Novels, Friendship

32 pages, Hardcover

When nocturnal Firefly tells his diurnal insect friends about the beauty of the moonflower that only blooms at night they all agree to stay awake to try and see the flower in full bloom. The diurnal friends get to discover all the sounds and sights of the night, providing Firefly with a new perspective of what the night can hold.

Clear illustrations and text are well situated in the early reader comic format making it a great tool for early learners on how to navigate a comic book.

Recommended for purchase for any library serving children in grades Kindergarten through 2nd.
