Thank you Little Steps Publishing for sending us this space-themed bedtime story. It has been a great addition to our growing collection of space/physics based picture books.
Goodnight Stary combines a gentle, soothing rhyming story with facts about the planets and a touch of humour, as we say goodnight to each of the planets (and Pluto) in turn.
This was a really lovely story. I particularly liked the little signs that showed how far away Earth is from each of the planets. They are one of a few little touches in this book that will help young readers to learn about the solar system, without feeling like they are being 'taught'.
The artwork is really striking - some of the planets cleverly resemble the Roman gods they are names after and all retain distinguishing features that will help readers to learn about them.
