Want to introduce very young readers to our nearest star? Try this rhyming board book that walks youngsters through the features of the sun - our closest star, the only one in our solar system, orbits, seasons - it is all covered. Illustrations show beach goers applying sunscreen, roosters greeting the dawn, and children participating in activities from each season.
The catchy rhythm (borrowed from the familiar "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star") will have readers humming along while their eyes are busy noticing details in each spread. They may notice a rocket ship approaching Mars or a dog romping through autumn leaves as they read about the ways we need the sun.
A good choice for early readers just starting to notice science concepts or as the introduction to a primary grade science lesson.
