THE SUN IS KIND OF A BIG DEAL

Emily Eiden, David de Vries, Lauren Ezzo, and a full cast narrate this dynamic introduction to our solar system and the hardworking star at its center. Young listeners meet the planets and explore Earth's reliance on the sun's vitally important jobs: providing warmth and light, creating the water cycle, and helping plants grow. Eiden's bright voice and engaging narrative style, as well as the lively music and the supporting cast's playful characterizations, animate the text and enhance the accompanying picture book's entertaining, educational illustrations. In separate tracks, Eiden narrates the book's glossary of scientific terms, and the whole cast contributes to fun facts, planetary gossip, and a celebrity interview with the sun. Science, creativity, and humor are abundant in this exceptional audiovisual experience. S.A.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2022]
