Good Morning, Sun

Rating:
Summary: Introduce your child to different cultures
Review: "Good Morning, Sun" is a basic children's book that starts them on the journey to learning about geography and different cultures. In short, it is the story of the sun telling various countries "Good Morning". For each country visited it shows the words "Good Morning" in their native tongue and mentions an item of significance in their country. The sun says "Good Morning" to American and the Statue of Liberty, to Mexico and Chichen Itza, to Germany and the Brandenburg Gate, to Russia and the Kremlin, to France and the Eiffel Tower, and to China and the Great Wall. All in all, it is a good book to start introducing children to geography and other cultures, however, it would have been better if it had at least put the visits to the various countries in the order in which they would be visited by the sun. This would allow additional discussion of geography and the movement of the earth. Obviously, the sun would not visit the countries in the order of America, Mexico, Germany, Russia, France, and then China. Still, it is a true children's book with pages that are treated so they can easily be cleaned of dirty fingerprints and other travails of children. "Good Morning, Sun" is a recommended purchase for young children.
