Publisher's Note Moonlight is really sunlight!Did you know that the moon doesn't make its own light? Instead, it receives light from the sun and reflects it to us on the Earth. Read and find out about how the sun, the stars and light bulbs make light so we can see.
Industry Reviews A simple activity, observing a white plate in a dark room, gives young children a chance to understand first-hand the idea that some light is always present in our world, despite the appearance of darkness. Handsome acrylic paintings appealingly interpret the text, though the presence of fireflies in some illustrations raises a point not discussed, cold light sources. Overall, the book succeeds admirably in leading readers to look at familiar phenomena from different perspectives. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company. Phelan
