Also by Natalie Jane Prior and Anna Pignataro: Star Also written and/or illustrated by Anna Pignataro: Princess and Fairy Sun by Natalie Jane Prior, illustrated by Anna Pignataro Baby-3 28 pages Kane/Miller June 2009 Board book     The sun has the power to jumpstart the day of all of the people and things within the reach of its rays. First, it extends over the rocky island to wake the seal pups, through trees in the forest to jostle the birds out of their slumber, and into the hives where the honeybees seem to be at rest. The calves, the mice, even the family of five with a dog are all warmly greeted by the sun signalling that it is time for the day to begin. Sun is a serene board book with simple text and unique watercolor illustrations that add to its natural appeal. This board book is a great way to welcome the morning with a ray of light, or to end the day with anticipation of what tomorrow will bring.     web reviews   Lori West/2009 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
