Each work uses key early reading features to introduce celestial bodies to youngsters, including quick, digestible chapters that utilize clean layouts, short sentences, repetition of words and phrasing, bolded vocabulary, and “Did You Know?” fact boxes as well as crisp, labeled photos and digital diagrams that support the main text.
