Running on Sunshine: How Does Solar Energy Work? (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)

Great book that explains solar with a storyline thats easy for young children to follow.

I read books to my 5-year-old daughter almost every night. Sometimes SHE reads to ME. This was the first time she's ever said, "Can we read another book instead?" It's a decent book, but maybe she's used to hearing about a central character or set of characters. Since the "central character" is a solar panel, it made this book too conceptual and technical. I would like for my kids to learn about alternative energy (we own an electric car), so I'll try again next year.UPDATE: a few weeks after writing this review, my daughter starting asking me to read THIS book. She now likes it!

Part of a series for scientific concepts for littles k-3. We’ll done, uses correct (not cutesy) terms good understandable language.

It was excellent for the kids. They are reading instead of watching
