Out of This World: Poems and Facts about Space | Amy Sklansky

1 post | 1 read

Amy Sklansky and Stacey Schuett give young explorers the moon and stars and beyond! The mysteries of the universe and the science of space exploration are perennialy popular subjects, and Out of This World is a wonderful introduction. Amy Sklansky has written evocative poems about planets and stars and rockets and moon landings and satellites. Each poem is supported by additional facts and explanations in the margins. Stacey Schuett brings it all to life with color-soaked skies and beautiful perspectives in her fabulous paintings. Space is a subject too grand for poetry or prose alone, so this book offers both to help readers truly appreciate our place in space.

Out of This World: Poems and Facts about Space | Amy Sklansky

so-so

The idea behind this is great. Facts about space, accompanied by kid-friendly poems about space. The illustrations are pretty cool. I really liked that the author used a variety of poetic forms. However, the facts seem to be written for a much older audience than the poetry it, and the whole thing doesn‘t quite work.
