The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal
Couldn't load pickup availability
A hilarious nonfiction picture book from the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Awkward Yeti.
Oh hey, guess what? The Sun never stops working to keep things on Earth running smoothly. (That's why it's been Employee of the Month for 4.5 billion years.) So why does the Sun get to be the center of attention? Because it's our solar system's very own star! This funny and factual picture book from Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk explains every part of the Sun's big job: keeping our solar system together, giving Earth day and night, keeping us warm, and more. In fact, the Sun does so much for us that we wouldn't be alive without it. That's kind of a big deal. Each spread features bite-sized text and comic-style art with sidebars sprinkled throughout. Anthropomorphized planets (and Pluto) chime in with commentary as readers learn about the Sun. For instance, Mars found someone's rover. Earth wants the Sun to do more stuff for it. And Jupiter just wants the Sun's autograph. Funny, smart, and accessible, The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal is a must-have!

I ordered this for my son during distance learning because they were talking about the Solar System for school. Lots of info presented in a funny and cute way, my 7yo loves it!
My son loves this book!! He thinks it’s so funny and I’m return for the cute humor he knows all of the planets.
We pruchased this book for my 4 year old who loves space. It's great, but has too much information for his age. It takes too long to read and my son looses attention. It's a neat book, but geared to a little older audience.
Bought this for my 3year old grandson and daughter she's a 3rd grade teacher. My grandson is really into the solar system.
We actually checked this book out from the library, my kid's preschool was learning about the solar system. And my kid loves this book so much we ended up buying it. We read it to her almost every night, and she has pretty much memorized it. She's 4 years old, and loves it. And for me, I love that she's learning about the planets, water cycle, and photosynthesis. She even goes around the house saying "I'm gassy, like Jupiter"!! Great book. Definitely recommend it for your kids. It's funny and the illustration is great.
