Genres: Animals
Format: Picture Book Fiction
Goodreads

This simple picture book is presented in 6 Chapters. It starts with the sun, the sun becomes a flower, the sun becomes a lion. The text is very simple, and this would be a great book for new readers. The illustrations are entirely in black, white, and yellow. The shape of the sun is carried throughout, even as it transforms from sun to flower to lion. This book would make a great read aloud as it has some opportunities for interaction. The book is, overall, pretty simple but Henkes recognition will ensure its popularity. Recommended for readers 3 and up.
