Seeing Stars
by Dandi MacKall and Illus. by Claudine Gevry
Ages: 3 to 7
Poetry book
A book about how stars connect the whole world together is great. It does not matter where you live or visit, the stars are in the sky. The first star the book helps you find is the North Star. You learn how to find the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, Taurus the Bull, and other constellations. On each page, the stars are sparkly, with a dark blue background. Pictures of stars connecting making the constellations are on the right and in the sky are the stars connected to help readers see what they are and what they are representing. Under each night sky (on each page) is a different part of the world where people are enjoying the stars in the sky: people who live near the North Pole, on an island, in China, or in the woods camping. The last lines state it best, “You’re never alone when the stars are in view. Just imagine the world that is gazing at you.” Everyone is a part of this big world and we have the stars in common.
