The results!

The goal of any Author Study is to teach student to discuss and respond across an author's books. This is an example of the type of responses that our children are writing in kindergarten. I think it's pretty impressive!

In the story The

Very Lonely Firefly

by Eric Carle

one night a

firefly went out

to find some fireflies.

It saw lights but

none were a firefly

and finally

it found some fireflies.

The very lonely firefly

reminded me of when

I was outside

all by myself. I felt

lonely too. This book

also reminded me of
Do You Want to

Be my Friend?

by Eric Carle

because they both

went looking

for a friend and found

friends. I like

this book because

I can write a response

to literature.

You should

read it because it lights

up at the end of it.

Eric Carle writes

books that I love

so much.

He writes my favorite

books!
