Customer Reviews

SUN shines!

Sun is another impressive book in National Geographic's Jump Into Science Series. The text presents information about the sun and solar system in an interesting, exciting, and child-friendly manner. Golembe's illustrations are marvelous. Her sense of color is magnificent. Her pictures make the text come alive. My children adored the pink and purple cat, sunglasses and all.
