review 1: Well done, short bio of Carl Sagan and his impact on astronomy and the space program. And with rock star Neil DeGrasse Tyson ruling the airwaves now, it would nice for kids to know how Sagan influenced Tyson's career.The illustrations are a combination of insets and full page pictures - there's always something happening on each page. And I loved the way Sisson created an easy way for kids for understand our relative physical size and place in the universe.
review 2: A picture book biography of Carl Sagan. I like the coverage of Sagan's childhood, it comes across as very relatable and it really shows how his earliest inspirations evolved into his life-long passions.The artwork complements Sagan's mission of helping all citizens to be scientifically literate b... morey taking large concepts/ideas and breaking them down into easier to understand/digest chunks.Back matter includes an author's note, source notes, and commentary on each of the pages in the book.Recommended for PreK-2. less
