This updated edition of Gail Gibbon’s The Reasons for Seasons provides k-2nd grade children a clear introduction to how the earth’s relation to the sun throughout the year makes the seasons. There are just a few sentences per page, and large, colorful drawings direct the viewer’s eye to what is being explained. With lots of labeled diagrams, an explanation of the earth’s rotation around the sun, and boldly printed headings for each of the four seasons, the book has a logical flow of information. Each season is covered in just 5 pages, and young scientists can absorb the brief information through words and text. Recommended bot libraries serving 5 though 7 year olds.
