The Very Lonley Firefly
By: Eric Carle



Once day the sun set and a firefly was born. The firefly was very lonley
so he began searching for other fireflies. Every time the firefly saw
a light he flew towards it but it was never a firefly. The very lonley
firefly didn't give up and contiued his search to find some firefly friends.

Why do you think the firefly was searching for other fireflies?
Why do you think he flew towards the lights he saw?
What do you think happened at the end of the story?
