A young child provides a happy meditation on the sun's daily duties, from wake-up messenger to shadow caster to hide-and-seek player to rainbow maker to nightlight. The simple text, cheerful refrain ("The sun is my favorite star"), and candy-colored illustrations, featuring a sun that's almost otherworldly in its luminosity, create a sneakily educational astronomy primer for the very young.
