The Sky Is Full of Stars (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) Reviews

  • Heather Lei

    This is an excellent young child's read-aloud book on stars. It is repetitive in a way that will appeal to children without overly annoying the adults reading to them. It covers a few northern hemisphere constellations and gives simple directions on how to find them. There are even details on how to construct a constellation projector from a coffee can, flashlight and cardboard.

    I checked it out from the library but am considering trying to track one down to add to my home library.

    This book was interesting for me about the stars and how they got their names, where they are located in the night sky and other facts, but it was a bit too much for my 4 & 5 year olds. They liked the pictures of the constellations and figuring out what animals they looked like, but they were restless in other parts of the book where they were on information overload for their age.

  • Kim Howard

    One of my childhood favorites. It contains beautiful illustrations by Felicia Bond with a few photographs of the night sky. There's a cute story within the educational context of kids riding their bikes out to look at the constellations before returning home and creating their own star patterns using coffee cans and flashlights. It's a great first book on astronomy for kids.

    Young stargazers learn about different star colors and brightnesses, how to locate major constellations, and how to make mini planetariums by using coffee cans and flashlights. ‘A fine job of encouraging young people to look at stars and constellations. . . . Highly recommended as a science resource book." —Science and Children. "A dandy book for [primary grade] readers."
