The Firefly Star

:: Reviews

"It should be a choice children's gift item in book-stores... Humorous, bright. Detailed illustrations emphasize the holiday spirit in this delightful book."
- Children's Book Review Services


"Songs are clear and lively, and after hearing the story children will likely enjoy dramatizing the tale as directed. This aspect of the presentation would be especially useful in classroom situations... The strength of the book lies in the tale of adventure, friendship, and hope. "
- School Library Journal

The Firefly Star book: "This story about the holiday (Three Kings Day) begins with real suspense: 'Once it almost didn't happen.'...the trickery is entertaining, the colorful folk-art pictures add a sense of pageantry, and the colloquial narrative smoothly integrates Spanish expressions into the storytelling." - Booklist (American Library Assn.)
