A review by kailey_luminouslibro
Sky Explorer: A Young Adventurer's Guide to the Sky by Day and Night by Elizabeth Jenner

informative fast-paced

5.0

This book answers a lot of questions about the sky, and stars, and clouds. We learn why the sky looks blue as sunlight refracts when it hits particles in the atmosphere. We learn how clouds form and the different types of clouds. There are sections about solar and lunar eclipses, rainbows, mirages, stars, planets, the phases of the moon, and thunder and lightning. My favorite part was about the northern lights.

I like that this book has a lot of little activities you can do to watch the skies. You can keep a diary record of the types of clouds you spot. There is even a quiz that you can use to test your knowledge after you have read the book! There are instructions to make your own solar eclipse viewer, or create your own rainbow with water and a flashlight. You can invent your own star constellation and map it out for your friends. You can use the stars as a compass to find your way. There are instructions to "make your own lightning" with static electricity!

I love the colorful art style and the design of the pages! It's really fun to read with small snippets of information that are easy to understand.
