My Thoughts:

What can I say other than this is one of the cutest children’s books we have read in a long time. We haven’t had many children’s books to review this year and I am so glad that this one came along when it did. Come Back Dear Sun is superb! Geena Bean does a wonderful job of writing the story and keeping the kids entertained. The idea of the sun disappearing is intriguing without being scary for the kids.
