How The Sun Got To Coco's House Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Follow the journey of the sun across the world from a whale’s eye to a little girl’s window in Bob Graham’s tender, transcendent story.While Coco sleeps far away, the sun creeps over a hill and skids across the water, touching a fisherman’s cap. It heads out over frozen forests, making shadows in a child’s footprints, and balances on an airplane’s wing for a little boy to see. The sun crosses cities and countrysides, wakes furry creatures, makes a desert rainbow, and barges into Coco’s room to follow her through a day of play. With an eye for capturing small moments of shared experience, Bob Graham illuminates the natural wonder that comes with every new day.

This will be a gift for a lovely little girl. I read it and thought it too was absolutely lovely! I will be looking for other books by Mr. Graham.
Cute book
The sun is the star of the story in HOW THE SUN GOT TO COCO'S HOUSE. The story follows the sun as it rises in the morning and "travels" around the world, through the forests, oceans, and deserts of the earth. Over the mountains and through the woods until the early morning rays shine through Coco's window and awaken him on a snowy day. The book does a decent job of introducing the idea of time zones to young children as well as illustrating how our star seems to connect us all.
Summary: The sun is the star of this book as it travels around the world while Coco is asleep. It travels through frozen forests, across the desert, and over the mountains. The sun is playful, joining with the wind to blow off a fisherman’s cap. It’s patient, as it waits outside a window to be let in. Finally, it barges through Coco’s window. After rushing around the world, the sun has time to spend the day playing with Coco out in the snow. Ages 4-6.Pros: This is a great introduction to the concept of time zones, with the sun rising in different places on earth at different times. The watercolor illustrations beautifully capture sunrise in a wide variety of environments.Cons: It seems to be cold and snowy in every place on earth.
