The Earth and the Universe Book

Three beautifully illustrated books help beginning readers understand fundamental ideas about the Sun, the Moon, the planets and the stars. The text is easy to read, and full-color illustrations fill every page. A two-page section at the back of each book is written for parents and teachers, and suggests ways in which they can further explain the universe and its objects to very young children. Books may be purchased individually or as a three-volume set in an attractive slipcase.Children learn that as the Earth spins, we see the Sun rise in the east then set in the west to end the day. And as the Sun's angle changes in the sky, we move through the year's four seasons.
