Little Explorers · Ages 3–5

Rocks From the Sky

A first look for little explorers

Corvanelle Publishing

A shooting star is a speck of space dust, about as big as a grain of sand, glowing 100 kilometres above the ground. One idea and one picture per page, this first book explains comets and meteor showers, fireballs and their black coats, craters on the Earth and the Moon, and how scientists hunt for meteorites in Antarctica. Meet Hoba, the 60-tonne iron meteorite in Namibia, and the Winchcombe meteorite that fell on an English driveway in 2021. Each chapter ends with three quick questions.
