Curious Kids: Stars and Space
This is a wonderful book packed with amazing facts and information about stars and space which will certainly inspire and excite readers.
Each double-page spread explores a different space-themed topic, accompanied by fabulous pop-up art work. This really helps bring the information to life, and allows younger or weaker readers to engage with a complicated topic in a fun, meaningful and age-appropriate way.
Topics include Sensational Stars, Space Stations, Stupendous Solar Systems and Amazing Astronauts, to name a few. Each topic comprises simple facts in short sentences, supporting language acquisition and science vocabulary. Readers are introduced to temperature, time and gravity. Some support may be needed with the more advanced language and concepts.
