Summary: Review pending. This is a picture book that explains how the sun rises and sets each day.
Type of Reading: bedtime story, anytime reading, family reading, playtime reading, early reader, read aloud book
Recommended Age: read together: 3 to 6; read yourself: 7 to 9
Interest Level: 2 to 5
Age of Child: Read with children ages 2 and 4 years old.
Little Kid Reaction: My children did not like the book and I could not get them interested in reading it again.
Big Kid Reaction: I really liked the concept of teaching young kids about the science of the sun, but I thought there were too many illustrations for the text. I was constantly turning pages and my son was not able to dwell on what he heard and saw. The book is reasonably well written.
Pros: This is a good science picture book that uses fairly informal pictures and rhyme to explain the sun's process.
Cons: Too many illustrations. If you could cut out every other page and write in the text on the page following, it would be much more enjoyable.
Borrow or Buy: Borrow or skip. I am borderline on this. The number of illustrations (compared to the length of the text on each page) makes learning the concept quite difficult.
