Elephant Dance 1 review Theresa Heine
Barefoot Books, 2007
cute intro to India and Indian culture
I used this book to introduce my 3rd grade art class to India and Indian culture. It could be used for younger children, but it does a good job of giving the basic flavor of India to the reader. It's very quick and simple, and the illustrations are playful and fun.

The Sun's Family of Planets (Rookie Read-About Science) 1 review Allan Fowler
Children's Press (CT), 1993
Our Solar System for the Preschool Set!
I looked in a lot of places for a simple book on the solar system for my 3 1/2-year-old son. This is the only book I could find that didn't have reams of facts. He said it is too long for him, and it is a little out-of-date, but it has gorgeous pictures that we can talk about.
