Earth Cycles (Ross, Michael Elsohn, Cycles.)

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful, readable book for curious young children
Review: 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!
