Common insects that children chase, smash, and run from every day have some fascinating peculiarities and habits—but who wants to read an encyclopedia or listen to a documentary? Fireflies: Fascinating Facts contains informative details in a humorous, rhymed format intended to convert children from indiscriminate bug-stompers to eco-savvy proponents of the usefulness of insects in a world where “going green” competes strongly with high standards for immaculate homes and office spaces. Children will be exposed to the importance of the the role of insects through interesting, entertaining facts designed to replace fear with awe and wonder. In a somewhat fanciful manner, Fireflies presents an introduction to the lightning bug. It ranges from a description of the insect to its use in current scientific research for a cancer cure, why they flash their lights, how long they live, and what can be done to help preserve them. The combination of colorful illustrations and photographs is meant to enhance the reading and help a child to recognize the insect on sight. Help your child see the AWE in insects, not the AWFUL by reading Fireflies: Fascinating Facts with them. Beautiful photographs combined with fanciful illustrations create a sense of awe and wonder as they learn about these amazing insects. Cartoon fireflies help to remove the scariness from the close-up photographs of insects, so your child can learn to recognize them without being afraid. Fireflies is a magical book for any age to learn from and enjoy. .
