Gr 2–5—Taking a narrative approach ("Bright stars twinkle in the dark. Now watch—you are about to see the sky explode with color"), this rich series presents astronomy in an accessible manner kids and adults will appreciate. In each title, detailed text and vibrant digital images work together seamlessly; the choice of a serif font makes for an easy reading experience. Footnotes guide students through unfamiliar terms, and historical context is provided through "Did you know" callouts and a time line of notable events. Educators will appreciate the critical thinking questions and the nonfiction text features, including an eclipse calendar, covering 2018–22, in Exploring Eclipses.
VERDICT A first purchase for elementary astronomy collections.
