Review

Why do I have to sleep? Why do I yawn when I’m tired? Where does the
sun go at night? These are just some of the questions about nighttime
that countless young readers wonder about every night. This book
provides interesting and informative answers to those questions and
others in simple, precise, and easy-to-understand terms. The science is
accurate, and inquisitiveness is encouraged. Animated full-color
illustrations add humor. Why Do Stars Twinkle? would be a wonderful
choice for parents to share with their children before bedtime.
Recommended.
