Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Packaged in a small, square format, this title presents a surprising amount of information about solar power in brief sentences that are calibrated to newly confident readers’ abilities. The short chapters start with essential definitions of terms such as solar system before moving into topics such as renewable energy and greenhouse gases. The selection of well-chosen color photos, which are crisply reproduced on each page, is particularly strong in final chapters about solar technology, and the close-up images of a solar-powered car and tent will attract young browsers. Readers will likely need help with advanced concepts, for example, global warming, which is illustrated with a helpful diagram, but the language is direct, clear, and enlightening. A short glossary, resource list, and index close this strong title in the Energy for Today series. This will partner well with Helen Orme’s Energy for the Future, also reviewed in this issue, in elementary units on the environment. Grades 2-4. --Gillian Engberg --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great little book to explain the facts and future of solar power, March 23, 2009
The Sun is the most important star in the universe for the people, animals and plant life here on earth. Without it we surely would not survive. There are many reasons why the sun is so very important to us! According to Tea Benduhn, the author of this book, "the use of the Sun's light and heat energy is called solar power." In this book there are four chapters:

What is Solar Power?

Sources of Energy

How Solar Power Works

Solar Power in the Future

Tea talks about many interesting facts. Did you know that there is such a thing as solar fabric and that a tent made out of it can power a computer? Did you know that there are cars that can run on solar energy? Did you know that the Sun is a renewable resource? There are many interesting facts in this book! This book is not only fun to read, but you can learn many scientific facts you may not have known before. The photographs are very interesting, especially the unusual looking solar car. This is an excellent beginner's guide to solar power.
