Want to feel better when dusting?

Like the water cycle, there is a dust cycle that is changed on a daily basis and is what makes sunsets are different each evening. Really! I had heard of cosmic dust, seen how volcano ash changes the sky, and so on but I have never really thought that much about dust. So, children would like to read this book because it is full of big thoughts and facts they can use to surprise people, which of course they love to do.

Recent fires have changed sunsets on the west coast, and sunsets are quite brilliant in 2020. ( )

This book explains what dust is and how it travels throughout the Earth. I love how the book states that old dust stays around, and the dust that made King Tut sneeze "might be on your floor." A very entertaining and fun book for children to read and learn from. ( )

This is a non-fiction text geared toward children. The way it is written is very simple to comprehend and generally easy to decipher from a child's point of view. The author writes about all the facts of dust in a fun but informative way. She includes details that children can relate to, like dust being created from the dead skin cells that rub off our body when we play outside. She does a great job making the text child-centered in order to make the information stick with them. Along with the content, the illustrations are also very well done. Each page has an abundance of vibrant colors. The illustrator also makes the visual of the dust in each image very prominent. This book is great for teaching a lesson, as a fun read or even just a bedtime story.

A wonderful explanation of the dust that is all around us. I would use this book to introduce the subject of dust and then see what the children found interesting about dust.

This is a book about different ways that dust forms. I really enjoy the pictures in the book, but I thought it was going to be more informational on things happening around bedtime. I do like how it gives many different examples of what dust can contain like salt from the ocean and flakes on skin from our bodies. ( )
