Firefly, Light Up the Sky

by Eric Carle (Illustrator)

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is having an anniversary, and it's a big one! Celebrate the beloved book's 50th anniversary with this Eric Carle Pop-Up Book and Flashlight Set. Written in charming rhyme, a firefly flies at night, casting its glow on various nighttime creatures. Each spread features a large pop-up of a different animal or insect―shine your flashlight to find out which nighttime friends are hiding in the shadows. And, press five sound buttons on the flashlight to add critter sound effects and bring the reading experience to life. Finally, when the firefly is ready for bed, who will light up the sky instead? The moon! This book is special
