This picture book teaches children about Halley's Comet. The pages have a narrative, told by the personified comet, as well as smaller font on the same page giving historical connotations. Though this style did not work for some readers, I rather enjoyed it. For younger children, you could simply read the comet's story in the larger print and enjoy the illustrations. As children get older, you could incorporate the smaller print. A good idea might be to let a child read the comet's story, and then you could read the smaller text. Many children who read this book will be alive to see the next passing of Halley's Comet in 2061. I hope to see it myself, as I was born one year after the last pass it made in 1986. Even as an adult, I found the book's explanation of the history of the comet to be very interesting, learning how different civilizations viewed and recorded the comet as far back as 240 BCE.

I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and Owlkids Books.
