"More Fireflies" is a further series of 30 new non-fiction titles for reading stages 1+ to 5, for children in Reception and Year 1 (aged 4 to 6 years). Written by a team of experienced authors, these titles include a variety of current topics covering all areas of the curriculum, from science to citizenship. The texts provide examples of all the required text ranges including reports, explanations, instructional texts, recounts and biography.
