A Rhyming History of Britain: 55 B.C.-A.D. 1966 de James Muirden
I chose this book because I thought its rhymes would help me learn British history, but it absolutely did not work. There are so many damned royals named Charles, Edward, William, James, or Henry, it's just impossible to keep them and their role in history straight. Now, aside from not sticking in my head at all, the book was fine. In fact, it was pretty fun to read. So good for general fun reading, but probably not for learning/retaining info.
Seeing Stars is a science picture book by James Muirden brings readers on a journey across the universe as they learn how a star is born. This is an in depth knowledge of what a star is, what they're made of, how they come to be, and what we use them for, that takes the important information to keep it understandable for young children. Muirden's book also includes information about gravity, solar systems, astronomy, and galaxies all with fantastic art. A teacher can use this in bits and pieces as the beginning of a science lesson to teach young children the contents of our universe.… (mais)
A beginner's guide to observing the cosmos. Everything you need to know about purchasing, mounting telescopes, and observing the Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars, Comets and Galaxies.
Stars and Planets is a very informative and interesting book. Muriden explains new vocabulary on each page, and then provides multiple examples for each! We learn all about the different life stages of stars, constallations, and different planets. However, the book is a bit overwhelming because it covers so many topics. This book would be great for a review though on the Solar System, after the students are already familiar with the vocabulary.
