Rose RosetreeAuthor 15 books477 followersFollowFollowAugust 31, 2024Kids in this book are called "TechTots." They're drawn cute, and they swap around some scientific talk about "Where does the sun go at night?"Kids like Oscar and Mia play. Play at controlling the Earth, etc.It's an earnest attempt to teach very young children complex concepts about the planets and how they work.Personally, I doubt that children at the reading level of this book have the cognitive development to comprehend those concepts from science.Nice try, though.Some precocious children will understand, at least.I'll give this Nice Try book FIVE STARS, just in case some of the kids who read it can understand the science -- and not just the analogy about sitting in the car with your eyes closed.

Wish there had been further info regarding the Armenian song on which this 1981 title is based.Aruego and Dewey’s signature animal illustrations are the characters watching the process of the sun sleep and awaken.
Amanda Walz651 reviewsFollowFollowMay 26, 2017A cute story written from an Armenian song. It's a tale that is told by questions, every answer gets a new question until the story comes to a surprising end.
Sandy1,539 reviews5 followersFollowFollowOctober 16, 2020The book is cute. There is nothing factual about where the sun actually goes at night, but my preschool aged children enjoyed the pictures and listened attentively to the story. 
Lynn Davidson8,204 reviews35 followersFollowFollowJanuary 19, 2025The story is based on an Armenian song. It is whimsical and cute about the sun being tucked in at night by a cloud, and his grandpa is the wind, and so on. Nicely illustrated.

Mirra Ginsburg
64 books22 followersFollowFollowMirra Ginsburg was a Jewish Russian-American translator of Russian literature, a collector of folk tales and a children's writer. Born in Bobruisk (then part of the Russian Empire, now part of modern-day Belarus) in 1909, she moved with her family to Latvia, then to Canada, before they settled in the United States. Although she won praise for her translations of adult literature, including the Master and Margarita (1967) by Mikhail Bulgakov and We (1972) by Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin, she is perhaps most celebrated for her contributions to children's literature. She collected and translated a vast array of folktales from the Russian tradition, as well as Siberian and Central Asian traditions. Ginsburg died in 2000.Ratings & Reviews
