(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paolo Rui. Based on source materials, these imagined journal entries written in the voice of Galileo discuss how he refined the telescope to observe Jupiter and its moons, which led to his controversial conclusion about heliocentric planets. Although anachronistic, the modern tone of the entries--along with an invented pet dog named Luna--makes the text accessible. Lively, colorful paintings add energy to the story. Bib.
