Childrens Book About Child Stars

By Ina Hunt


Introducing children to space travel and the wonders of the skies requires carefully selected literature. Only some childrens book about child stars can fit the tender age. This means that not all titles available in shelves can fit this purpose. Each age requires a different approach and a different title for that matter.

Roaring Rockets is an incredible title targeting children around the age of three years. It is authored by Tony Mitton and specializes on rhymes for the tender age. It gives a story about a trip to the moon through a very interesting perspective. It is funny to read and very interesting for the teacher, parent or guardian who is leading the child.

The idea of waning and waxing moon is perfectly introduced by Eric Carle in his book Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. His target is children at three years of age or more. The author uses pleasant language which is exciting and extremely captivating to the young minds. Its presentation is also simple for that age.

The Big Dipper is co-authored by Molly and Branley Franklin to introduce the concept of constellation. Children begin to identify the big and small dippers, among other formations in the sky. The other ideas tackled within the pages include the North Star, little and great bear.

James Ransom and Lenny Holt came together and gave children the title How Many Stars in the Sky. This is the best selection for the imaginative mind of children since they begin to look forward to long sky gazing hours. It does not dwell on the fact that they have to identify constellations or the phases of the moon. This is a story of a father who drives his son to the country for the sole purpose of gazing at the skies.

Space travel forms an exciting topic for children at the tender age. This inspired Steve Kellogg and Faith McNulty to come up with a book entitled IF You Decide To Go To The Moon. It is a fantasy journey that puts the children into the space travel mood right from the first sentence.

Yoshikawa Sachiko and Steve Tomecek are not interested in fiction. They choose to present facts in a manner that will elicit genuine interest in children at four years or more. This is through the book Stars, which explains where they disappear to during the day and why they reappear at night. Children get to learn in a simple language why some sky objects appear brighter than others.

Zoo in the Sky combines incredible illustrations to teach children about constellations. The constellations are introduced in the form of short stories. Each constellation has an accompanying story that describes where is it positioned and how it behaves from time to time as the sky changes. This title is authored by Christian Balit and Jacqueline Mitton.

Our Stars is the choice of title for the largely pictorial and illustration collection by Ann Rockwell. Each picture or illustration is accompanied by a description on the star and relative position in the sky. Other objects like meteors and the moon are explained. A very simple language is used in this regard. This title is ideal for children at the age of five years and more.
