It’s packed with information, and both the cartoonish illustrations and the chatty writing style make it very approachable for young readers. I kind of have to like it because it makes clear to students a misconception that I carried with me until I got to college: that the sun isn’t bigger than other stars, it just looks that way because it’s so much closer. Though it covers lots of aspects about the sun and its place in our solar system and our solar system’s place in the greater universe, it can’t go into great depth, given that it is a picture book. One element I thought was over-simplified a bit was when, in explaining that the tilt of the earth gives us seasons, it declares that there are four seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter), where it would have been more accurate to say that much of the earth has those four seasons; not everywhere has the same four seasons and North America and Europe.
