Grade 2-4-A series of questions about weather and astronomy that children will find intriguing. How and why the weather changes; why there are different clouds; and the driest, wettest, coldest, and hottest places on Earth are typical of the topics covered in Rain. Stars includes how stars are formed; why Mars is red; theories on the formation of the universe; and the life of our sun, moon, galaxies, and planets. The illustrations in Rain are clear and bright but somewhat static, while those in Stars are dramatic. Although the books are designed for browsing, good indexing makes the information easily accessible for basic reports.

The question and answer format of this book is out of this world- and sometimes out of this galaxy- as it presents the stars, planets and space in an intriguing, lively and understandable way. Children will enjoy browsing through the attractive illustrations or reading in-depth to gain a basic and comprehensive knowledge of space. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Recommended winner.
