How to Explain Shorter Days to 6yo

Well, I don’t think CM would call these Living Books, she may even call them twaddle but both of those questions were answered for all my children with Usborne books.  Iwas a little shocked by Usborne books at first, they seemed so cartoony, but my son lapped them up, still does, and reads them for leisure.

I’m sorry I just cannot recall the titles but I know we ordered from Sonlight in those days.  There are many Usborne titles that overlap. The pictures are also very helpful; showing the sequence of the seasons.

We also used the globe and a torch.  Do you know, this is embarassing, but it was only when I taught my son, with the Usborne book, at age 20 something, that I clicked about the earth being tilted and how the seasons come about?  Actually Usborne has helped explain so many things to my unscientific brain that I think they must be good. 

Have fun learning,
