Praise for The Longest Day: "The text introduces both tradition and
some science... Thirteen celebrations of the sun are included with
basic information--just enough to interest young children."
--School Library Journal "A comfortable, multidimensional
investigation of the Summer Solstice that transcends time and
place."
--Kirkus Reviews "Pfeffer draws readers' attention to the science
and history of the seasonal change. After a succinct explanation of
how the earth's position shift causes longer days, she provides a
wealth of intriguing information about sun celebrations throughout
time, in a variety of places.... Recommended for classroom or
library collections."
--Children's Literature
