The cover art of Saturn for my Birthday is delicious! Kids are going to be drawn in and will be entertained while their sharp little eyes devour the scene.
Jeffrey’s birthday is looming and he’s decided that he wants Saturn for his birthday present. Yes, that Saturn—the planet. Oh, and he wouldn’t mind having its forty-seven moons. He’s going to take good care of Saturn and will share the rings with his friends. It will be oh, so much fun to have Saturn for his very own. But since Saturn is millions of miles away, Dad had better get right on it, because it will take an awful long time for the planet to arrive!
Join Jeffrey and live his delightful fantasy about owning Saturn for his very own planet. And when you’re done with Jeffrey’s story, turn the page and see the Solar System Fun Facts. They will surprise the young reader and maybe some of us older folks too. Then take your young reader to the publisher’s web site (see below) and click on the book’s cover to find all the wonderful supplemental materials.
I always say Sylvan Dell Publishers have the best children’s book and Saturn for my Birthday is no exception. The stories are entertaining and educational in a subtle way. The illustrations are always exceptional and the illustrations are delightful. They’re detailed and bright and cozy. They make your heart sing and the reader longs for the blazing fire, a soft sofa and your own Saturn wrapped in a blanket lounging with you (see the book for this scene).
Armchair Interviews says: Perfect for the family library and a must have for schools and public libraries.
