About the Book: Starfish and Space Dust

“Does anyone know anything about that flash of light we saw the other night?” Morgan asks the fish in the rock pool. “Sure I know about the strange light,” chuckles Starfish. “It all started a long, long time ago…”

Ever wondered about the stars and the planets?  Ever asked: What are stars made of?  “Starfish and Space Dust,” the second in Rob Schapiro’s children’s book series about Little Fly and his friend Morgan, answers some of these questions during the pair’s adventure to South Africa.  

There they visit a town called Plettenberg Bay, where they are baffled to see a strange light in the sky. Their quest to find out what this light was  takes them on a fantasy journey into the local rock pools, where they meet a  starfish and learn some fun lessons in astronomy for kids.

The book will be enjoyed both by young independent readers as well as by parents looking for fun ways of teaching science to children.

The book size is 9.5 x 7.5 inches--ideal for bed-time reading and printed on thick glossy paper that makes it comfortable for small hands.
