My Review:
The Sun Plays with the Moon is a delightful and imaginative rhyming picture book that helps young children make sense of eclipses, one of the most fascinating natural phenomena that occur multiple times a year. By portraying the Sun and the Moon as two loving friends constantly playing their favorite chasing game, the story makes the introduction of complex astronomical events more interesting and easier to comprehend.
With the perfect complement of colorful, playful illustrations, the book compares and contrasts solar and lunar eclipses, partial and total eclipses, and the impacts of the Sun during the day and the Moon at night on plants, animals and human activities. The pictures include fun details about how to observe eclipses at different times of the day. Through a short, enjoyable story, the book may spark the little ones' interest in exploring the solar system and motivate them to seek scientific explanations about how things work in space.
