I picked this book because it looked like a nice story about fireflies. For this book, I would have students write what they learned and thought was interesting about fireflies.

The information that I learned from this children's book about toads makes me want to have one as a pet! I really recommend this series as a quick & happy way to learn about the creatures around us. Cute & full of facts--I wish I read more of these as a kid!
