"[Emily Kate] Moon brings the same refreshing combination of charm and solid fact [to Ray] that animated her profiles of water (Drop) and air (Puff) . . . . In the vivid illustrations, bursts of light brighten deep seas and underground layers to demonstrate energys reach, storage, and continual flow, as well as the planetary surfaces, where light plays an essential role in making food for all. . . . A high-wattage spotlight on our most important power source." Kirkus
