"When you gaze into the sky at night, what do you see? Most of us see only the brightest stars because they are the only ones that can cut through the artificial light that overwhelms the night. But up there, beyond the haze of streetlights and buildings, lies the Milky Way--our home galaxy. The words and photos in The Secret Galaxy allow young readers to see the stars as never before."--… (more)

This book is about the Milky Way galaxy and offers facts about stars. This book is a good example of an informational text because it offers facts about the galaxy.

A book about the milky way. Great details and fact about the milky way in an easy way that students understand. Can be used for a unit on space - March! Will use this in my classroom. ( )

I really enjoy the personification and the riddle factor of this book! It would be fun to read with a very small introduction and have the kids make guesses about what they think it could be. This would be a great intro to any discussion about stars, galaxies, even our planets! This book could even be read up through middle school. It has info on the sides that give a little more detail about what the book is saying.

This book, told by the perspective of the milky way, is filled with pages filled with beautiful images of starry night skies and artist renditions of the milky way. The narrative section of the book (as told by the Milky Way), gives facts and information in a easy to understand way, and then each page has a more scientific description of what is being told. In a classroom, this could be used during a unit on space. It could even be used in an integrated literacy lesson to illustrate personification.

The Secret Galaxy is an amazing informational book because it tells us what a galaxy is, which is a system of stars, earth, moon, sun and other plants and they are one arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The photograph illustrations are so pretty and can really attract readers. Each page is a colorful star that can give students a good imagination of galaxy.
Usage: I will use this book for 3-5 grade students, and give them a great introduction of galaxy and let them have interest to explore it. ( )
