Alternate to Lonely Fireflies: In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming

In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming

In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming. Henry Holt, 1991.

Bright, bold illustrations, rhyme and alliteration, bugs and snakes that naturally capture a child’s imagination ... perfection. I would have loved to have this in board-book format for my own children when they were young. Similar to one of Carle’s (the Lonely Firefly, I think), but simpler/makes more immediate sense.
