Tom's Telescope: A Book About the Moon and the Sun

24 pp. | Child's | August, 2017 | Library ISBN 978-1503820173 $18.95

(4) K-3 My Day Learning Science series. After receiving a telescope, Tom views the sun (using a filter for eye safety) then the moon and stars at night. While few children may be able to identify with owning a telescope, the astronomy concepts are clearly (if blandly) presented for young readers. Large color photographs augment the slight easy-reader text, with new vocabulary words in bold-colored type. Discussion questions are appended. Reading list. Glos.
