Are stars as tiny as they look in the night sky? Why is it hard to see stars in the city? What star pictures do people see in the sky? What is the difference between blue stars and red stars?

Young readers ages six and seven will find the answers to these questions and more in this Scholastic Science Vocabulary Reader that introduces first- and second-grade students to the stars and constellations in the night sky. Using pictures, diagrams, and a simple text to help strengthen reading skills and vocabulary, the book addresses three main topics: What is a Star?, Constellations, and Famous Stars. In each section, Fast Fact boxes provide a piece of information related to the topic.

A glossary and three comprehension questions help young readers assess their understanding of the information presented in the book.

Highly recommended, especially for students interested in science, stars, and /or space. ( )
