Why do Stars Twinkle? and other nighttime questions
Illustrated by Scot Ritchie
This is a brilliant formula - Ripley asks exactly the right questions and answers them in a way which is satisfyingly full enough to prevent too many follow-up 'why' questions without confusing us all with too much detail. The balance between the amount of information given and the accessible language is particularly clever and will make these books an immediate asset to any school or family library. Ritchie's illustrations give support but also plenty of detail.
