BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Hong and Paul introduce us to spectacular phenomena from the farthest corners of our galaxy.
Each page includes a bit of factual info about each marvel and some text by the author.
The text is supposedly poetic, but while it is arranged to look like a poem, the author uses no poetic devices. Those who have read my reviews before know that I have a particular disdain for verse that is lacks actual poetic devices. However, Hong’s illustrations make-up for the text’s lack – each page is a beautiful swirl of color and depth – each page is worth framing. And the added details of the back matter make up for the lack of the actual text.
