From simple questions like "How hot is the sun?" to more complex ones like "Is there life elsewhere in the solar system?" this book helps kids understand what they see when they look up at the sky. So many mysterious things appear when we look up at the sky. And then there are the bodies we can't even see. Learning about the universe helps us understand our own planet. Children will find out about stars, planets, comets, meteors, and more. The authors provide answers that help children understand the scale, movements, and complicated relationships of objects in our universe and beyond.

Do stars have points, questions and answers about stars and planets by Berger_ Melvin - Berger_ Gilda
Interesting and very informative questions and answers about the sky and everything in it. Like especially the answers because they use everyday things in our lives to help understand it all.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Do Stars Have Points? is an informational book for kids in grades 3-5. I like how this book talked about a wide variety of things. The book taught me about stars, the sun, the moon, and the planets, etc. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about space.

I don't think I would read this to a class as an assignment but for entertainment purposes. I like how it asks and answers questions that children would have.

Do Stars Have Points? is written in a fun question/answer format that is engaging for students of all ages. When learning about stars, our sun, galaxies, constellations, planets, earths rotation, composition, and atmosphere, our moon, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites it can become quite complicated. The format allows the information to be presented in a more memorable way. I also like that it referred to topics such as, is there still life out there? This gives students the opportunity to think critically and form opinions and discussions. I could use this book for a science lesson or research project. I could also use it for a journal writing topic.
