Have you ever wondered how a firefly lights up? Fireflies in some areas of the world light up all at the same time, or in a specific order and pattern. Eager readers will glow with excitement while learning about these special insects!
This book introduces the insect firefly, which is a type of beetle.
This beginning reader, illustrated with color photographs, gives a basic introduction to fireflies. It describes their physical characteristics, names their body parts, and explains how and why they produce light.
A glossary, an index, suggested websites, and a bibliography for further reading are included at the back of the book.
This book contains many high quality, close-up photos, and it is the best book on fireflies for lower elementary students that I have read.
