5.0 out of 5 stars Stars book rates Stars from me, June 27, 2000

By	Judy A Johnson (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sky Is Full of Stars (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)

The Sky Is Full of Stars is an excellent and informatiive book for primary age kids. It gives lots of information about the night sky and constellations in an easy to understand format for children. Kids can take this book outside and find constellations following the directions in the book. I can't wait to use it in my second grade classroom!

This review is from: The Sky Is Full of Stars (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)

This is an uninspired book. There were a few very interesting pages that the author seemed to spend some actual time on. Beyond that, naming the constellations does not make for very engaging kids reading. There are better choices for young astronomers.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, November 5, 2007

By	E. Winner (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Sky Is Full of Stars (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)

i thought this would be a book about stars! (not surprisingly, given the title). it's actually a book about constellations. it talks about seeing pictures in stars and lists a few common constellations and when to look for them. it has pretty much no information on stars themselves. i wasn't surprised that my daughter wasn't particularly interested. why not have a book about stars---red dwarves, blue giants, black holes, galaxies, etc instead!? argh! wasted opportunity.
