This is a wonderful book with FABULOUS nighttime illustrations. It is recommended for 4-8, but my 22-month old loves it and loves to count along with it. She asks for it again and again and even recites bits of it! It is about 2 children catching fireflies, and you also see a host of nocturnal animals as they appear as the dusk fades to dark. At the end the children release them and count them as they fly away. Very simple poetry, but read slow (!) or you will easily become tongue tied.One note: while it is a WONDERFUL book, I really question the 4-8 age recommendation. I would rate it 2-4! It is PERFECT for the "again Mommy, again" toddler stage!
This is a great book for students exploring the number 10. The left page counts up to 10 fireflies in the jar while the right page counts down from 10 fireflies in the yard. The two pages together always add up to 10, so older students learning addition can practice number pairs. This is great for math lessons. However, for children young enough to just listen to the story, the rhymes are a little boring and sometimes the rhythms are not very smooth for reading aloud. It definitely feels like a math book; not a story book.
Super cute book with great night time illustrations. My son loved counting and touching the fireflies. My class used it to help them make combinations of ten!
In this book two children catch flashing fireflies in the night. This is a counting book from one to ten. After they catch all ten, they marvel at their beauty. Then, the best part of the book is that the children let the fireflies go. The watch them leave by counting backwards from ten to one, and then none. This is a captivating book that teaches not only counting, but kindness to animals. It is a great bedtime story book, just watch out for the tongue twisters!

a fantastic counting book that teaches my child to count both ways (from 1 to 10 for the fireflies in the jar and vice versa.strongly recommended!
This dimly-lit book shows children delighting in catching that perpetual favorite summer bug - the firefly (which I insist is a lightning bug). This was on a list of summer reads for preschoolers. Thumbs up.
