Judy Hawes is the author of several other Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science Books, including Why Frogs Are Wet, illustrated by Don Madden, and My Daddy Longlegs, illustrated by Walter Lorraine. She lives in Glen Rock, NJ.
Ellen Alexander is the author-illustrator of Llama and the Great Flood, a picture book set in the Peruvian Andes. She lives in Ithaca, NY.
PreSchool-Grade 2-- Hawes's first-person narrative is a revision of the 1963 edition (HarperCollins). Alexander uses richly hued pastels for her illustrations of a young girl, her grandparents' farm, and the creatures of a summer night. While visiting the farm, the girl learns some interesting facts about fireflies from her grandfather. The colorful drawings and appealing cover represent the major changes in the book; the original edition featured a young boy. The brief, clearly written text is thorough enough to satisfy its intended audience. Julie Brinckloe's Fireflies! (Macmillan, 1985), for the same age group, is a softly illustrated, very readable story of a young boy catching fireflies with his friends at dusk. Joanne Ryder's Fireflies! (HarperCollins, 1977) is by far the most informative easy-reader on the life cycle of this unusual insect. --Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH
