Reviews

[Becca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple explanation of solar and lunar eclipses--how and why they occur.

[Jillian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simple and straightforward; does an excellent job of explaining what an eclipse is, the different types, and why they happen.
Good illustrations clearly show what the text is explaining.

[Mary Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clearly explains what an eclipse is for a young audience. This would be good to read aloud with early elementary students, or have for 2nd and 3rd graders to read independently. Bold photos and a good diagram. Glossary, recommended further reading and an index are included at the end.
