I like the stickers!

[Katy Brandes]

Awesome book with stickers. Eric Carle is pretty amazing (the first author name my son ever knew).

[Marlee]

This book is a ton of fun. I love this author. The sticker book was great fun to do. And now, with the stickers finished, we have a lovely story to read.

This is about a firefly trying to find more people of his kind so that he isn't alone anymore.

This book was not my favorite

I honestly am not sure exactly how I could use this. I would probably use this so to show that even when we are alone if we try our hardest we can find more people like us.
