(2) K-3 A young firefly astonishes everyone with his bright light. "TURN OFF THAT LIGHT," shout the night-sleeping woodland creatures. Torchy tries to twinkle softly, but it takes more than wishing. The brilliant nonsense is cleverly shown in scenes that switch from darkness to a white daytime kind of illumination. The fine, funny answer to the problem unfolds with a fantastic and unexpected display of lights.
