(4) K-3 Jump into Science series. Illustrated by Sachiko Yoshikawa. Some of the many topics covered in this introduction to stars include why we can't see them during the day, classification, and relationships between brightness, size, and distance from earth. Tomecek's text skillfully presents appropriate information to directly address common misconceptions. However, the appealing but misleading artwork and text design undermine the carefully constructed explanations.
