Earth Cycles

by Michael Elsohn Ross

Book Overview

The Earth is round like a ball and it moves in circular motions. It changes in patterns that go round and round like the wheels of a bike.

Wonderful, readable book for curious young children

This book does an excellent job explaining to young children why it gets dark at night, why there are seasons, and similar information. It is more of a picture-book than an encyclopedia, presented at a pace appropriate for reading aloud. My three year old learned the pattern of days, months, years and seasons from the book, and wants to read it over and over.I wish more science books for young children were written this way!
