Reminiscent of the Magic School Bus series--and just as effective for budding astronomers--the fourth book in Bredeson's I Like Space! series focuses the telescope on stars. A brief but stellar prologue appears first thing, prepping young readers with need-to-know vocabulary. Questions make up the chapter titles, and each spread that follows poses and answers those questions, sharpening kids' basic knowledge of these celestial bodies. A bit more challenging than Bredeson's Rookie Read-About Science books about outer space, this title offers a variety of insights into these diamonds in the sky. Everyday questions young readers may ask-- Why do stars twinkle? and Where do stars go during the day? --are balanced with more scientific queries, such as What happens when a star gets old? and How long does starlight take to reach Earth? Stunning photographs balance the awkward astronauts floating around the book. A closer look reveals one body used four times with different male and female heads. Despite the artistic pitfalls, this is an appropriately light but satisfying introduction to a limitless topic., Children's Literature
