About this item
A nonfiction picture book that explores a very important star -- the sun! Kids ages 5 to 8 listen as the Universe explains key facts about our cosmic lifeline! There are trillions of stars in the universe, but one is particularly important to people on planet Earth -- our sun. Without it, there'd be no humans, no animals, no plants -- no life whatsoever! Earth would be dark, cold, and empty. That's a pretty bleak picture! In The Sun: Shining Star of the Solar System, the Universe itself explains the relationship between the sun and Earth. Kids ages 5 through 8 discover how the sun's place in the solar system gives us the days, seasons, and years we experience on our planet. They learn alongside funny alien characters how the sun supports life on our planet and how it's related to the weather.
