Starry Messenger: Galileo Galilei (Caldecott Honor Book) Paperback – Picture Book, September 1, 2000

Starry Messenger: Galileo Galilei is a picture book that tells the story of the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei. Although the book is intended for elementary school children, it presents the subject matter in a way that is difficult to understand. Some of the illustrations are questionable and need further explanation. The book may be more suitable for older children and young adults who are already familiar with the subject matter.

Pros

Large print makes it easy for children to read
A good way to teach children about Galileo and astronomy

Cons

Difficult to read to young children
Lack of primary source research and historical accuracy
Digital format is unreadable
Limited timeline of astronomers
Not suitable for children below fifth grade
Some illustrations are questionable and need further explanation
