Rocketship Made of Stars (I am an Alien) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jennifer Crain
Rocketship Made of Stars: Naming Constellations by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Although I liked this book lesser than some of the other scientifically based Lois Wickstrom’s books, it is still worth reading. An alien comes to Earth and tells stories his culture tells of the sky, which leads into learning about constellations, complete with diagrams of real constellations in the back. I did enjoy how the story has the characters taking turns telling their version, and the fact the teacher doesn’t question why an alien is in her classroom shows great inclusivity! As with all the books in this series and Lois Wickstrom’s other books, colorful, engaging illustrations accompany the text.
