One of a set of four very early readers for the primary school library regarding the sun and what goes around it. It does get as far as the solar eclipse, but generally it's pretty light on content, and relies on very exaggerated faked-up images to let us see what's what in the solar system. Seeing that the other books concern planets, moons and other stars, I can only believe the four to have a huge amount of overlap, and I'd recommend one book doing the same way before I did the same for all four of these. It's done well, but if they really are $24 each then they're miles off a real-life evaluation.

Very short, but also very informative for the beginning. Easy to read, simple language suited for kids.
A good introduction to the sun, wanting for more.

The photos are bright and saturated, pulling the attention of the reader. Nice to look at as well.

Some text was (visually) hard to read though, because of the color chosen (grey text on dark blue background). I’m hoping that’s just the review/digital copy.

Thank you to North Star Editions for an e-RC.

This is such a fantastic introductory science book. The picture spread makes great use of color while only having a small amount of text. Put together, this makes this easy for beginning readers while still giving a great deal of information. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.
