- School Library Journal, starred review

Counting down from ten to one, a girl and a boy empty the night sky of fireflies as -- counting up from one to ten -- they fill their jar with them. But once captured, the fireflies' light flickers and fades, so in a generous good-night gesture, the children release them.

Luminous pictures and a chant-aloud text combine to make this two-way counting book as joyous and magical as catching fireflies on a summer night.

A book quietly luminous as its subject.
- Kirkus Reviews

Elegant mathematical simplicity and careful rhyme, illustrated in keeping with its nocturnal theme and bedtime role.
