The book starts out by asking where we see stars, it then moves to talking about stars in the ocean. It talks about what sea stars look like; the physical attributes that a sea stars has (arms, length, color, tubes on the feet, and its mouth). It tells us how a sea star eats and then it describes a few different types of star fish. At the end of the book there is a review page of words the reader encountered throughout reading that may be new words to them.
This book is very informative. It gives great information about sea stars and other animals that are related to it that also live in the ocean. The pictures in this book are very detailed and really bring the words that are used to life. This book has a great use of vocabulary that may not be used every day.
This book can be read to students in Prek-1st grades. It may be difficult for emergent readers to read on their own so it would be best to read it to students who are just beginning to read. First grade students who are a little more advanced in reading and second grade students can read this book on their own. It would be a great book to use if you were doing a unit on the ocean or on star fishes. English Language Learners may have a hard time reading this book and will need additional help or information to understand what is being said. This book is a great way to increase students vocabulary and knowledge about star fish.
