Autographed by the author! Jump into Science Series: Stars When you wish upon a distant star, do you wonder what stars are? Those tiny, twinkling lights are really giant balls of gas, just like our sun. Follow a boy and his bike-riding dog on a star-studded scientific journey to find out: Where do stars go in the daytime? How far away are stars? What stories can they tell us?
Watch the stars come to life in brilliant color, from red to blue to yellow to white. Marvel at the mythic stories of the constellations and try finding your own patterns in the sky. Then think behond our sun and wonder what other planets might be circling other stars and what, or who might be on them.
Ages 4 to 8.
