The Little Star That Could

The Little Star That Could

The Little Star That Could is the story of Little Star, an average yellow star searching for planets of his own to warm and protect.

Along the way he meets other types of stars, learns what makes each star special, and discovers that stars combine to form clusters and galaxies.

Eventually, Little Star finds his planets, and each planet is introduced with basic information about our Solar System.

"The children now know all about the different types of star and are using language like 'supernova' and 'constellation'. They can even explain what a star is and how it burns which is pretty impressive for the first few weeks of Year Two!"
