    About this ebook

    There are trillions of stars in the universe, but we rely on our sun to provide (or contribute to) most of what we need to survive and thrive: heat, light, plants, animals, wind, and water. Complete with fun, cartoon illustrations, this book give kids plenty of information about our sun in an easy-to-read and digest format. By focusing on the needs of an elephant, Wells makes clear just how important the sun is to life on Earth.

      WHY DO ELEPHANTS NEED THE SUN? by Robert E. Wells is another interesting Children's books/Science. Age range: 7-9 years/Grades: 2-4. Common Core Standard Teachers Guide. What an exciting and appealing introduction to the sun,its purpose,and scientific information. From Photosynthesis, to water cycle, to the sun itself,is just a few things discussed in this title. Another Standard Core for teachers. Not only educational but a fun learning tool for teachers and parents alike. A great way to learn of the sun and its purposes. The illustrations are awesome too. Received for an honest review from the publishers.RATING: 4HEAT RATING: NONE(CHILDREN'S BOOKS)REVIEWED BY: AprilR, My Book Addiction Reviews
