Our Stars
Anne Rockwell
ISBN: 0152018689
Lovely factual and old-fashioned book examines stars, the sun, planetary and lunar orbits, comets, meteors (shooting stars), and constellations in clear illustrations and simple age-appropriate language, using the correct terms and explaining them straightforwardly.
The Sun is my Favorite Star
Frank Asch (Happy Birthday Moon)
ISBN: 0152021272
Skirt-wearing white child waxes lyrical about our own personal star: the sun. Beautiful fuzzy-edged and warm-toned imagery, and very short and sweet (and repetitive) sentences.
Fancy Nancy Sees Stars
Jane O'Connor, illustrated by Ted Enik (in the style of the original artist: Robin Preiss Glasser)
ISBN: 9780062572752
Fancy Nancy loves fancy words, and also loves stars. Her class is headed for a night trip to the planetarium when disaster strikes and the trip is cancelled, but her family makes the best of it (as they always do) and the class trip is saved (perhaps by a wish on a shooting star?)
