When I found out I was pregnant I called my mom to see if she still had this book from my childhood...I HAD TO HAVE IT!! It was a gift to me from my great aunt (a schoolteacher) - and I wanted to have it to read to my child. There are only a couple of books that left lasting impressions on me - this one is at the top of that list. Now I am looking for another copy as the one I have is falling apart!

This was probably my favorite book when I was very little...it has a good message and is very creative, both in writing and illustrations. I have searched endlessly for a copy and finally found one (unbelievably) at an auction. Needless to say, I was completely thrilled. I'm sorry it is out of print..would like to have copies for my grandchildren.

My mother read me this book when I was 2or 3.This book is so creative. the story is about a little lightning bug that has lost his light inthe lattern thathe carries on his backside. He climbs a blade of grass to talk to the moon about giving him some light for his lattern.I will never forget this book.I cannot find it anywhere.Thanks carol
