Stars! Stars! Stars!

Wallace is known for her cute bunny families that populate her science books. These bunnies look at rocks, they look at seeds, and now, they look at stars. While the illustrations are super cute, the writing does not get syrupy. In fact it sounds like a normal energetic-bunny family who gathers friends and goes to a star show at the children's museum. "‘Welcome to Star Space,' said their guide. ‘My name is Stellan, and I think stars are WONDER-full. What do you wonder about stars?'" The bunny children wonder about the shape of stars, what they're made of, how many stars there are, and candy bars. While the stellar puns may get a bit trying to the adult-readers, many children will enjoy the star-studded themes. As the bunnies walk through the exhibit at the museum, they see the solar system, complete with dwarf planet Pluto, and learn about the effects of the Sun on the Earth. Then they find the answers to many other questions, including why stars twinkle, and stars' temperatures. The cute bunnies are likely to appeal to children who don't know they want to learn about science. Back matter includes a tip sheet for stargazing.
