![]() ![]() I felt a glow radiating out of the illustrations. The bright pictures in this book reminded me on every page of the power of the sun. Perhaps it’s my mood (I’m reading under unpleasant circumstance: loud and annoying noises, second hand smoke, etc.) as others have been more wowed than I. It’s obvious to me that this book/these books were written and illustrated with a great deal of love, passion, and work, and I admire the effort that went into it/them. I’ve always been really interested in science, and I liked this book, but I’ve seen this information provided in ways I’ve found more interesting. The information is presented in an interesting enough manner, but while it’s not boring, it didn’t grab me either. The 4 pages long illustrated text section in the back, gives further information, sophisticated enough that it’s for older elementary school students, or perhaps even kids a year or two older. I wasn’t enamored of the sun as the narrator, though others might like that better than I did. There are so many fascinating nature children’s picture books available, and this one just isn’t as interesting (in my opinion) as many others. Outstanding illustrations: gorgeous and wonderfully detailed. This book was published in 2009 and the ocean book was published in 2012. I deliberately also read Ocean Sunlight: How Tiny Plants Feed the Seas the same day as I read this book. ![]()
