Critical Reviews

"Everything Under the Sun is a beautifully illustrated book full of questions that young readers will likely have asked aloud or wondered to themselves before. Questions like 'Why do tigers have stripes?' or 'How do our bodies make earwax?' OR if you have a space enthusiast like I do, they probably read the question first and just had to know the answer to 'How long has the storm on Jupiter been raging for?' I love that this book has a calendar layout, one question per day of the year. Of course you can read it in any order you like, but this would also make for a fun family tradition."-- Oh, the Books We Love!

"This is such a fun way to learn about things you'd likely not talk about otherwise, and could be a fun way to guide homeschool lessons! Each day is only about a paragraph long, but you could extend the learning by adding books on the same topic."
-- Little Cub Literacy

"This book would be the coolest addition to a daily home education routine or a morning circle in an early childhood or elementary school classroom. ... sure to dazzle, inspire and amuse the inquisitive young scientists in your life."
-- Reading with Red and the Magpie

"[A] heartwarming yet educational read that is sure to make any child and adult smile. The illustrations are incredibly done- the collaboration of 12 different artists allows for a colorful and diverse representation of varying artistic styles, making this book truly a labor of love and heart."
-- Stories with Jojo

"[A]s comprehensive as it is jaw-dropping, with seemingly endless fun facts and opinions to some of kids most common and amazing questions."
-- Nanny Miss Monique

"The book is a fantastic impetus of inquiry for elementary-aged children. It can serve as an example of questioning, but also allows for deeper wonderings. Kids can also take the questions further into research with teacher guidance. ... This book is a fun daily read aloud for classes or individual students."
-- Children's Literature Comprehensive Database

"[E]ncourages your ability to think and reason why. It also lets you imagine things from a different perspective. ... a perfect combo to intrigue your child's curiosity."
-- Always a Storybook ​
