Description
This book defines energy and examines how energy from the sun provides us with heat.
Quick Summary
If your kid is just starting to read chapter books or even picture books, this is a solid pick. Fowler breaks down the big idea of "what is energy?" into simple, easy-to-grasp pieces, and the sun is the perfect example to hook young readers. The whole thing is only 424 words, so it moves fast and won't overwhelm kids who get antsy with longer books. Parents will like that it sneaks in real science without feeling like a textbook, and the photos and illustrations keep things visually interesting. It's great for kids who love "how things work" questions or anyone doing a solar system unit at school. If your little one enjoys this one, Fowler has a whole "Rookie Read-About Science" series with other topics they might like just as much.
