Reviews

K-Gr 2 This new edition features lively and inviting illustrations by Madden. Unfortunately, the drawings take some poetic license and portray the sun spewing out what look like flames. Since the sun isn't on fire there isn't enough oxygen this is misleading to young readers. This one error is more than compensated for by Branley's enthusiastic description of our sun. Sprinkled throughout the text are lots of gee-whiz facts to keep children interested. In addition, a simple experiment, showing the importance of light on plant growth, demonstrates the connections between life on Earth and our sun. There is even a mention of solar energy. Alan Newman, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore

well do you remember books like this when you were a little kid? there is no way i wouldnt buy these for my kids. i loved these and so would any little kid, i recently bought one for my niece its called "the very hungry catterpillar" it was one of my favourites and now it is one of hers. Lots of colours and pretty pictures, great for learning too. Little kids books are the best thing for them, its stimulating and keeps them entetained while ur trying to do some work.
