I recently downloaded the children’s book Sunshine on Kindle. Sunshine tells the tale of a young girl and her first pony. It was one I was keen to read with the kids and then review.
The story is written for young readers and has beautiful illustrations that accompany it. Young Morrene is delighted to get her very own pony. Shortly after this, whilst at school she is encouraged to consider how she would help to teach the kindergarten children. They need to learn an easy way to know the difference between left and right.
As she ponders her teacher’s suggestion, Morrene wonders if her beautiful Sunshine can help her to know left from right. But in time it becomes obvious that Sunshine wants to have nothing to do with left and right – she would rather keep going in a straight line!
Sunshine is a short tale that is bound to engage young readers. One issue I had reading it on my phone was that the book – text and images – appeared to be scanned images of the original paperback. The quality wasn’t as good as it could be. But on top of that, I had no way of making the images or the text any larger than they appeared on my phone.
This wasn’t a major drawback, but was one thing I noticed that I haven’t come across before with kindle books.
