- School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2021 April
Copyright 2021 School Library Journal.K-Gr 2â A narrative nonfiction set with visual appeal. The Universe, personified with a face and long, star-filled dark hair, narrates the titles, introducing early astronomy and Earth science concepts to earthlings. Two unnamed alien creatures provide additional commentary and comic relief. The cheerful illustrations, with a soft chalk-like texture, feature many anthropomorphic stars and planets that will appeal to fans of Stacy McAnulty's similar series. Except forThe Moon , each book closes with an environmentalist message about pollution, light pollution, or solar energy. An activity and glossary are included.VERDICT A good option for educators looking to incorporate narrative nonfiction into natural science and astronomy lessons.
