Genre: Informational
Review: "The Book of Stars" is an informational book about the different types of stars in space. It includes information about the sun, red dwarfs, giant stars, dying stars, galaxies, and more. Each section has a paragraph describing the star or group of stars, a small section on myths and legends related to the star, and a section that looks closer at an element of the star. It has a glossary at the back defining each of the stars, as well as an index. It also has a lot of pictures that illustrate what each star looks like. I think this is a great informational book because it has a lot of information about stars without being overwhelming. I think students interested in space would appreciate this book because they would be able to understand and learn from it. I would like to include this book in my classroom library.
Uses: This book would be great for students to refer to if they were researching space/stars, or if the class was studying graphic features in a text. It would also be interesting to look at this book if students were learning about Greek or Roman mythology.
Media: Pictures ( )

Discusses all different types of stars from the sun, smaller and larger stars. It also describes how big each is, if you can see it with a naked eye, what it's made from. Continues by explaining star clusters, galaxy, universe, and constellations. Genre: Informational because it is strictly informing the reader about stars and such, without any other opinions or stories included. Point of view: Narrator because it is strictly information being passed along. Because there are no characters there are no voices other than the narrator. Media: computer graphics
