"The World Where Stars Live" is the final book in the "Fairy-Tale Universe" trilogy. Sveta and Alka already know about the Sun, the Moon, and the planets of the solar system. In this book, we will talk about our amazing Universe, its stars, nebulae, and galaxies.
Efrem Pavlovich Levitan's wonderful stories introduce children to the basics of astronomy in an easy and unobtrusive way. Clear explanations, simple experiments, the travels of Knopkin the gnome, and the amusing mistakes of Nedouchkin the gnome make learning an interesting and fun activity.
- Where do stars come from?
- Why do stars twinkle?
- Where does the Milky Way lead?
- Does anyone live on the stars?
- How do you find constellations in the sky?
- Why was the ladle constellation named Ursa?
The book tells all about this and much more. Here is what the author, science popularizer, and wonderful educator says about it:
"Parents, primary school teachers (and even kindergarten teachers) can read it to children aged 6-8. This is a book for leisurely reading, which must be accompanied by simple experiments, making models, and, most importantly, astronomical observations. Without such active engagement from the child, the formation of astronomical concepts will not be effective, for verbal contact alone cannot be a source of comprehensive knowledge."
The preceding books in the trilogy are "Secrets of Our Little Sun" and "Little Sun's Kingdom".
