Books with author D. Thomas Halpin

One Little Light Bug is a children's picture book about one lonely lightning bug who finds himself almost all alone in the dark with only his sense of caution and his awesome light power. He avoids a bug zapper, dodges a frog, gets a drink and finally meets another lightning bug. The Little Light Bug and his new girlfriend are happy they found each other and fly off together to make a new home. The book includes three bonus pages that reinforce the main points of the book. One page titled "Bright Ideas" reinforces the three main points of the book, caution, safety and friendship. A second page, "Amazing Light Bugs," includes science facts about these incredible beetles. The third bonus page titled "Draw for Life" includes the first original sketches of the Light Bug plus a look into the basic shapes behind the Light bug's design to encourage drawing and creativity.

And the place too was, perhaps, one of all others in which a metropolitan friend of the once Robert Kent, the brewery cobbler, would least expect any information as to that gentleman's rural pursuits.Honest, good-hearted Bob, he was always called by his London friends, but we are not sure whether he has enjoyed equal fortune with those round the preserves of the manor.The odd place, hinted at, was Mr. Mellow's spirited establishment - the dram-vaults: a house, it is hoped, well known to the reader, if not, our attempts at the graphic have been but poorly appreciated, or entirely misunderstood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
