REVIEW
This is a great introduction for 3 and 4 year-olds to topics concerning space and the planets. More specifically, the book discusses concepts concerning Earth, such as rotation and revolution, gravity, and the seasons in simple, concise language. Karas’ lovely large illustrations are absorbing in various shades of blue, green, and yellow. They are fun – with wonderful details such as a face hidden in the clouds smiling benevolently onto our planet – and also demonstrate a sense of wonder about the universe. Each page contains few words, making this book accessible to children. This beginning science text is highly recommended.
