Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4–Easy-reader adaptations of two of Nicolson's earlier titles. The books contain less information and are lacking the activities and glossary that were in the originals. In Space Rocks, an introductory chapter provides a short definition of comets, asteroids, and meteorites followed by lengthier chapters specifically focusing on each one. Stars defines what stars are, how we observe them, how they form constellations, the life of stars, and galaxies. In both books, the author starts each section with a question and then answers it. Small watercolor illustrations and full-color NASA photographs were largely taken from the previous titles and do a good job of supporting the texts. The lower vocabulary is helpful for less proficient readers and useful if an overview is needed, but most children will prefer books with larger photos and more detailed information.–Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX
