Customer Reviews

Beautiful, interesting book

Our kindergartner picked this out at the library and had a difficult time returning it once his renewals ran out! The photos and illustrations are terrific, as well as the topics covered. The book explores not only the physical makeup of the sun, but also it's affect on the earth. The text is for an older child (and the adults in OUR family) but the pictures are fascinating enough to keep our little guy coming back for more.
