by Lois Wickstrom, Nicolïs Milano (Other)

Overview

Shirl takes her alien friend Eee-ahh to school with her.

The kids figure out that Eee-ahh is an alien, because she is green and has an antenna. The teacher asks Eee-ahh where she is from. Eee-ahh draws a map of the stars -- She circles a constellation that looks like a rocket ship. The sky looks the same, but Eee-ahh gives all the constellations different names.

Will the teacher like the new names?

5 star review from Readers Favorite, Amy Louise Hill

Rocket Ship Made of Stars: Naming Constellations (I am an Alien) by Lois Wickstrom is a fun and educational children's book that will teach your child about constellations. Lois has created Eeh-ahh to be such a fun character. The fact that she is an alien sparks intrigue in the reader because it immediately pulls them in by making them wonder what an alien is doing on Earth. Is she here to cause mischief? Or does Ee-ahh come in peace? Rocket Ship Made of Stars will be fun to read out loud. The illustrations by Nicolas Milano help bring the character, Eeh-ahh, alive.

Edwards Book Club Reviews, Christa McGrath

The authors writes the story in a way that makes you believe that differences are not a big deal and where you come from is as normal as can be, even if home is outer space.

What does stand out in this book is the clever way the author teaches kids about constellations. This is really the 'shining star' of the story - pardon my pun!
