I gave the book Galaxies Galaxies by Gail Gibbons 5 stars because I have used her books for years. Gail Gibbons is a master at presenting non-fiction text to young students in an interesting way. She takes a science subject like galaxies and adds easy explanations kids can read and understand. She also adds in beautiful pictures and deep rich colors that are pleasing to the eye. She reveals her enthusiasm for science by how she presents and explains the material. I plan to use Galaxies Galaxies and other books by Gail Gibbons to help support my science curriculum for years to come.

Gail Gibbons creates a book for young readers about galaxies and our solar system. She includes colorful illustrations with facts and diagrams to help students learn about astronomers, telescopes, and galaxies. Grades 1 - 4. ( )

Summary: This book discusses the atmosphere and the many galaxies, stars, planets, and facts about our universe. It tells about previous astronomers and their contribution to the universe and their findings. It gives stories on the outside of the page, and then draws pictures to better describe the text.
Genre: Science fiction because the book talks about facts about our solar system and the many parts that make it up. It talks about the diferent galaxies, the colors of stars and what they mean, and how the telescope was introduced.
Plot: The plot was set in episodes where each page described something different such as the Milky Way, Lenticular Galaxies, Spiral Galaxies, telescopes, etc. It was very information with no climax or resolution.
Media: Water colors? ( )

This book tells us lots of facts about the galaxies. You learn about our galaxy, the Milky Way, the history of telescopes and the discovery of more galaxies over the years as telescopes have progressed. Also, it tells us about the five different types of galaxies, stars and gas clouds, light years, and distances in the universe. The illustrations were pretty spectacular, illustrated with paints.

Galaxies, Galaxies! could be used in a science lesson when learning about the galaxy that we live in, The Milky Way. There is a lot of information in the book and may need to broken up into smaller lessons for younger elementary students.
