Customer Reviews

Memories!

I love this book. It brings back so many childhood memories for me. I remember loving this book as a child, the fun illustrations create a world that is delightful and that children can get lost in, yet it's simplicity is appealing and easy to take in.

Surprisingly Popular

This was recommended to us by our librarian - and, I must admit, I wasn't very impressed. But, our 2-year old son absolutely *loves* this book! And, frankly, the more you read it, the more charming it becomes. I'm here searching for a copy to add to our permanent collection, given its popularity at our house. I agree with a previous poster that the illustrations are not very refined, but they do a good job of conveying facial expressions - particularly of the sun - and my child really enjoys identifying "sad" and "happy" and "grouchy" as we read.

Great Treasure

I remember this book from when I was very young. It is such a great story for the imagination. A journey waiting to be read to an adventurous child!!!

Bain de Soleil

My mom bought a copy of this book...about 20 years ago. She got it because it reminded me of a sampler she had made depicting chicks in front of a blazing sun. It was one of my top fives as a kid. When I found it again here, I was beside myself. It arrived speedily, and in perfect shape at that. This virtual thrift shopping is a good substitue for the real thing!

How the Sun... review

A good story but in my opinion ther's nothing special about the pictures.
