| Pieces of Another World is the touching story of a father and child's nighttime excursion to watch a meteor shower. The author keeps the readers in suspense by telling the story through the eyes of the child, who has no idea where they are going in the middle of the night - or why. The wonderful, vivid descriptions make the readers feel as though they too, are in the middle of the field watching the tiny bits of other, distant worlds, blazing into our own. The "For Creative Minds" section is loaded with information about meteors (also known as "shooting stars" or "falling stars") and meteor showers. Learn the difference between meteors, meteoroids, meteorites, asteroids and comets.<br> <br> 4pg For Creative Minds educational section in the back<br> Aligned to State Standards / Lexile, Guided Reading, AR, Reading Counts, and Fountas & Pinnell<br> <br> Educator Keywords: meteors, earth science, picture book |
