Fireflies

Insect World

by Mari Schuh

In Fireflies, early readers will learn about the life cycle of a firefly, and find out why the insect flashes its lights. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage emergent readers as they discover the fascinating world of fireflies. A labeled diagram helps readers identify the insect's body parts, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about fireflies online using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Fireflies also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index. Fireflies is part of Jump! s Insect World series.
