Review:
This is a cute little board book for ages 2-4. It is short and well colored with fun illustrations.
Everett does a good job with a slight rhyme talking about the sun, our daytime star. She explains various ways in which it affects our world in a fun way for young readers.
I liked that this is a science lesson and an enjoyable read as well. I didn't love the pages about looking at the sun directly... even with sunglasses I feel like that isn’t a great idea and something to tell kids of 2-4 to do or even encourage like the illustration kind of does.
Overall,
it was a cute, educational book, and I enjoyed it. I will be passing it along
to a young reader to see what he thinks.
