We want to help create motivated and engaged young readers. This blog is about children's and YA literature (especially New Zealand), literacy research, and ways to get, and keep, kids reading.
The cover of Awesome astronomyis very busy and inviting - black background, but with bright colours and cartoon style writing and illustrations. This continues inside - the images throughout the books are the same bright mix of cartoons, drawings and photographs. Even the text boxes are brightly coloured!
And the book covers a wide range of information about space - from galaxies, our solar system, to phases of the moon, and day and night. Chapter headings include, A Zoo of Stars and Rocks Giants and Dwarfs. There are also five hands-on space related activities (with clear instructions) for kids to make and do. Recommended.
