When a very lonely firefly goes out into the night searching for other fireflies, it sees a lantern, a candle, and the eyes of a dog, cat, and owl all glowing in the darkness.

This board book edition is the perfect size for little hands. Lushly illustrated with Eric Carle's trademark vibrant collage art and soothingly told with a gentle read-aloud rhythm, The Very Lonely Firefly will fast become a storytime favorite.

Cuando una luciérnaga muy solitaria vuela hacia la noche en busca de otras luciérnagas, ve un farol, una vela y los ojos de un perro, un gato y un búho, todos resplandeciendo en la oscuridad. Ve incluso una sorprendente celebración de la luz. Pero solo hasta que descubre otras luciérnagas, siente que ha encontrado exactamente lo que buscaba.
 
Esta edición en cartoné tiene el tamaño perfecto para las manos pequeñas. Con las ilustraciones exuberantes que caracterizan el vibrante arte en collage de Eric Carle, y narrado dulcemente con un texto rítmico y suave, perfecto para leer en voz alta, La luciérnaga muy solitaria promete convertirse rápidamente en un libro favorito para la hora del cuento.
