Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I Know Exactly What You Are

I love this book. It goes pretty deep into astrophysics, but in an accessible language. My 4 year old loves all things space and is intrigued by this book. You can just read the cute little rhyme, or you can read the explanation on each page. Either way, it's a great introduction for children. 😁

Of the dozens of books I’ve bought for my kids, this is by far my favorite. The book is a joy to read (or sing!), and the underlying science is sophisticated but comprehensible. I wish I could rate this six stars!!

Wonderful. My daughters love this book. I sign it to them. My 5 year old loves that she knows what a star is now. My two year old is obsessed with it and makes me read it every night.

I really like this book , I think it is easy enough for a child to enjoy, a teen or an adult would also learn a great deal about stellar objects. definitely thumbs up! the illustrations are well done

It may take a bit to wrap your tongue around the words while singing but this is my kids new favorite. My two year old loves that it’s a song and my six year old has us read the long facts section at the end every time. Perfect book for all ages of kids.

My 2 year old son loves this book and memorized all the words! Great book!

Take a well known children's song and mix in astronomy facts and what do you have? A picture book tour of space with a rhyming text. The book begins with two children in their bedroom. The girl looks out at the night sky with a telescope while the boy looks through an astronomy book. Their room is decorated with a solar system mobile hanging from the ceiling and a poster of the solar system on the wall - obviously they like learning about space. Constellations, black holes, and the various types of stars are introduced along with other stellar facts. The illustrations are a mix of watercolor, pencil, and collage that captures the twinkle caused by atmospheric turbulence as well as the beams of light from a pulsing neutron star. They also show those children as they finish their stargazing for the night; the girl snuggles down next to a star projector nightlight while her brother cuddles under the covers with his astronaut teddy bear.Back matter gives a more detailed explanation of each of the stars mentioned in the book and also shows the image again, making it easy to flip back and forth through the book and connect the larger scale illustration with the extra information. This will be a great gift for any children interested in space and science, and a good addition to classrooms and school libraries for teachers to introduce astronomy.

I loved being able to understand the concepts about the stars and our universe that are shared in this book. It is a treasure for any family, especially those that love to learn at every age. Beautiful and instructional. Great combo.

One of our favourite books. Love it!
