How the Sun Was Brought Back to the Sky

I love this book. It brings back so many childhood memories for me. I remember loving this book as a child, the fun illustrations create a world that is delightful and that children can get lost in, yet it's simplicity is appealing and easy to take in.

This was recommended to us by our librarian - and, I must admit, I wasn't very impressed. But, our 2-year old son absolutely *loves* this book! And, frankly, the more you read it, the more charming it becomes. I'm here searching for a copy to add to our permanent collection, given its popularity at our house. I agree with a previous poster that the illustrations are not very refined, but they do a good job of conveying facial expressions - particularly of the sun - and my child really enjoys identifying "sad" and "happy" and "grouchy" as we read.

I remember this book from when I was very young. It is such a great story for the imagination. A journey waiting to be read to an adventurous child!!!

My mom bought a copy of this book...about 20 years ago. She got it because it reminded me of a sampler she had made depicting chicks in front of a blazing sun. It was one of my top fives as a kid. When I found it again here, I was beside myself. It arrived speedily, and in perfect shape at that. This virtual thrift shopping is a good substitue for the real thing!

A good story but in my opinion ther's nothing special about the pictures.
