1.I would recommend this book to lower to middle elementary.
2.This book goes through a narrative story of what it is like to be the sun and all the facts about it. This book includes a lot of true information about the sun, orbits and stars in general. This book also touches on other planets a little bit.
3.I will definitely be having this book in my future classroom and highly recommend this book to be added to the classroom. ( )

Part of a great series about astronomy for younger readers.

This is a cute book that list's fun facts all about the sun. This is a great book when talking about the sun and the moon in science class. Although this list facts, it is in a simple way for first and second graders to understand. I would read this to my students instead of just showing them a PowerPoint with a list of facts. ( )

The sun is a star in its own right. One who takes the stage and shines bright for as long as the we can remember. Author, Stacy McAnulty, gives us a fun, informative look at our very own dwarf star. She incorporates fun facts, such as radius, mass, volume into a friendly and imaginative take on the sun only a child would love. Children would be wowed by the facts, such as being able to fit a million earths in the sun alone, or the earth being just a speck of dust compared to the sun's size. It is this that makes the book a good read for younger children who are maybe learning about our solar system. Pick a day and learn a planet each day! ( )

Sun! One in a Billion (Our Universe) is a children's picture book about the Sun. This book is informative and adds a little humor. We learn that the Sun is a star and is very important to people on Earth. We learn that the Sun isn't the brightest star on the planet. We learn all the important things that the sun is for, like farming and for plants to grow. The sun also gives us heat and for light to see. Most importantly, the sun helps hold the entire solar system together in what we call gravity. All the planets orbit or spin around the Sun. You will learn other fun little facts in this informative, but cute children's book on the Sun. ( )
