On Earth is an excellent explanation of night and day, seasons, and earth’s rotations and revolutions for young readers. Simple, brief text and colorful paintings illustrate the scientific principles in an almost poetic fashion. Perfect for use in elementary science classrooms, this book allows students to see the complex principles modeled with their own eyes.

This is a review for On Earth by G. Brain Karas. This book is about how Earth rotates on its axis and why and how we have different seasons. This book explains why we have different seasons based on Earth's rotations. It also mentions time and how 1 year is 1 full rotation on Earths axis. The book also explains night and day and how that is caused by Earth facing the sun or not facing the sun. I really liked this book. It would be great for introducing this topic to younger children because it i...

I was glad to see such an easy way to teach the basics about the way the earth works. Great and informative illustrations. My son really had a good time teaching his OLDER sister a thing or two about the world!

If you didn't know already, this is a book about the earth. It was written and illustrated by G. Brian Karas. He does a wonderful job explaining and showing the earth and its many cycles. He makes the concept of earth easy to understand for young children. This book also talks about the months and seasons. Karas's word choices throughout this book was very well done. I also enjoyed his illustrations of the earth. This book would be perfect to use in the classroom for explaining the earth and it'...

On Earth by G. Brain Karas walks its readers through the amazing science behind the planet we live on. The book talks about the Earth and the way it rotates on its axis. It also explains the changing of seasons and how it happens! It breaks down how the Earths rotation is directly correlated to the changing of seasons. It then moves to teaching children about the reason for night and day. In a way perfect for young readers, the book demonstrates where the earth is facing when it changes from nig...

"On Earth" gives the readers description on why the earth works the way it does. It talks about why we have seasons, what orbits looks like, and how time works in space. In the back of the book, there are quick facts about earth, like " The earth revolves around the sun in a big oval orbit." I thought this book was okay. I thought it was informative, but very surface level. I would only recommend it to students who are young and need simple explanation on traits of the earth, gravity, and season...

Just what we needed. An introduction to how days and rotations, seasons and revolutions work. Illustrations and verse make it more like a story rather than a "fact book."

This easy book explains how the earth rotates on a tilted axis, and how it orbits around the sun. In addition, it describes how seasons happen, because of the orbit around the sun and the way the earth is tilted. It also gives the reason that we stay on the earth even though it is continuously moving: the law of gravity. This book was a very quick read that would be good to begin a unit on the earth and how it works compared to the sun. Students would understand seasons and day and night, and wo...

This book is a great way to incorporate science with literature. There are a variety of concepts that students can learn about through this well illustrated and easy to follow along with book. This is definitely a book I would like to incorporate in my classroom.

This book teaches all about the Earth and how it moves in space. It explains how the Earth sits on an axis and rotates around the sun, and that this is how we have days, nights, months, and seasons. The book gives several scientific facts about the Earths place in outer space, how it moves, and how we are moving on it.I like how this book gave very simple descriptions and explanations about the Earth and how it moves in outer space. I think it would be great to use for younger children to introd...

I feel that this story is really implicit. The words and pictures effortlessly imparts understanding of time, calendars, seasons and growth in the rotation and revolution of planet earth. Arrows show the earth spinning on its axis and the way it circles the sun. The illustrations have texture and charm, but also whimsy and a light, supple touch, as they move in close to the children’s faces or out to the whole solar system.

This book is an educational book on a topic that may be hard to introduce. This book touches on the earths roatation, why we have seasons, why there is day and night, gravity and much more. I enjoy how this book is not so much just facts but flows well as a story. I gave this book 5 stars out of 5 stars because the way it explains everything and the creative illustrations that match the storyline.

If you're looking for a book that explains seasons in relation to the sun and rotation and tilt then this is the book for you. Beautifully illustrated and well explained, this is a wonderful book to have on your home or classroom shelf.

This simplistic, poetic picture book provides a stunning introductory to the earth, how seasons change, and how day turns to night. It is a perfect book to use with young children to explain difficult scientific concepts.

Nice illustrations. I am enjoying reading children's books.

Book about the science of the Earth. Basically meets all the K-2 standards with seasons, shadows, planets, months, gravity. Great book for science.

Facebook Live 2020Lots of basic information on the Earth, its relation to the sun, and how we live on our home planet.

This book talks to readers about the changing of the seasons based on the Earth's position in space. It explains that the earth is on an axis and that as the planet orbits the sun, the seasons change because of how close or far we are from the sun. The book explains why winter days are shorter and summer days are longer, why we have calendars to keep track of time, and why we see shadows at sunset and sunrise. I personally loved this book. It is a science non-fiction book, but the illustrations

This book is about Earth and the orbit around space.You can use this book to talk about how planets revolve around the sun, how it's day in one part of the world and night in the other. It talks about how seasons take place. It's a good book to read to the kids. It's written kind of with a poetic flow, so it makes it easy to read. However, kids will have to know the vocabulary related to it, because it has a lot of scientific vocabulary in it.I recommend this for older children. 4th-5th.The cont...

There are some gorgeous and very educational illustrations in this book. This is a terrific introductory book for children about how the earth spins on its axis, why we have seasons, and other such scientific facts. I would have liked even more information but what’s provided is interesting. I think this book would be enjoyed most by a child who can read it for themselves, or perhaps read and shown aloud as a class project, but the way the information is presented, I don’t think it’s ideal for a...
