This book was a very informative book about energy and the sun. It starts out by talking about how children use all of their energy. It connects to how they run and jump. It goes on to talk about how humans get energy from the food that we eat. It then continues to shows that the food that humans eat gets energy from the sun. It kind of shows the food cycle without explicitly showing the cycle. I liked this book because it really would connect to children. It talks to them, shows things they like to do, and the pictures are also pretty fun. This book would definitely be for younger students because it seems like a simple intro into the idea of sources of energy. During this unit I would have students read it and then talk about what they learned since it is pretty simple. ( )

This book defines energy and examines how energy from the sun provides us with heat, light, plants, food and other things necessary for life on Earth.
