stars, and basic facts about constellations. Accessible text and
vivid photographs engage readers and support comprehension.
This fun first board book with neon-bright pictures shows it's
never too early - or late! - to learn about big ideas, and build
confidence in science. Just like your little one, Baby Robot is a
brilliant scientist in the making. He wants to know how to fly to
the Moon, so Rose-bot tells him about rocket science. Based on his
firsthand experiences, Baby Robot has imaginative ideas for getting
to space. Rose-bot explains why he can't climb there, or fly in a
plane, helicopter, or balloon. She knows you need a rocket, and she
tells Baby Robot all about how space rockets work. The first title
in a series of STEM books for babies, Baby Robot Explains... Rocket

ones. Humorous illustrations, with bright, popping neon colour, and
a read-aloud, picture book story are combined with very simple
scientific explanations - written with the help of science

OFF! In this richly illustrated book, astronomer Elizabeth Avery
takes children and their parents on an educational and exciting
journey through space. In these captivating pages, a bear named Ted
takes off for a trip through the solar system with his best
friend--a flower named, aptly, Fleur. The pair explore our moon,
and from there they head out to places no being from Earth has yet
visited: our neighboring planets Mars and Venus, more distant
locales like Jupiter and Saturn, and even the source of all Earth's
energy, the Sun. At each stop, the pair learns basic scientific
facts that are presented at a level that early readers can grasp.
The result is a winning adventure, a trip that is simultaneously
instructive and entertaining, an interplanetary romp that will
inspire kids to follow their scientific dreams.
This title provides a basic overview of sun and how it shines.
Easy-to-read text, labeled photos, and a photo glossary make this
title perfect for beginning readers.
