I would recommend this book to older students because it is factual and not as engaging for younger students. This book goes through facts of space and shows some pictures of space while describing it. This would be helpful in the classroom because it is a good resource for facts about space and is an easy read for students who are learning about space, but since it is factual and not as engaging I would keep it for the older students.
This book would definitely be better for intermediate ages. This is a non-fiction book that gives 101 facts about space and our exploration of the galaxy. This book would be great in the classroom as a resource during units about space, as well as independent reading for students who have an interest in this subject.

I've always been fascinated by Princess Kiko, I remember my grandfather talking about her wedding to Prince Fumihito and my grandmother discussing her traditional kimono. My grandmother was a clothing designer and model before she married, so I would often hear about what the famous people were wearing.
This book gives an easily accessible recounting of how commoner Kiko became Princess Kiko of Japan. It briefly goes over her childhood--how she lived in America and Austria and could speak English and German well, her father being a professor and then her return to Japan to go to college for psychology.
Sprinkled throughout are meanings of words a child might not understand (especially in regards to traditional Japanese customs), a glossary, books kids can read to learn more about Japan and photos of Princess Kiko and her family.
Child's Reaction (age 8):
Jane* sat down and read the book with me while I was watching her the other day. She especially enjoyed all the pictures throughout--depicting Kiko's life before as well as pictures of her life after marrying Fumihito. She laughed when she heard how heavy Kiko's dress was (35lbs!), but was anxious to hear about her children (Kiko has 2 daughters and 1 son).
At the end of the book she asked me to help her look up more about the Princess and Japanese culture.
Overall: I think the book is a fun way for kids to learn more about a different culture. For a home library the price is perhaps a little steep, 17.99 for 32 pages, but as a resource at school or in a library I think the book is well worth the price.
(*)I obviously changed the child's name here.… (plus d'informations)
