Title: Galileo Man of Science
Author: Kerri O'Donnell
Genre: Biography
This is the story of Galileo. The book consists of five chapters, being birth of a scientist, Galileo the teacher, through the telescope, Galileo's discoveries bring trouble, and a father of modern science. Just by reading the titles of the chapters of this book you can tell what sort of information it gives which is great. I think that students that look in s library for books to read would see this book and be interested by the cover if they are at all interested in science. I also believe that looking into the glossary and the index of the book will give a great idea of what is being told in the story.
The book talks about Galileo in great depth, which is amazing because he was such an incredible man. I love that the book discussed all of his accomplishments as well, such as the book called The Starry Messenger where he recorded his discovery of four of Jupiter;s largest moons through his telescope.
This book is great for kids who are learning about science and outer space and the stars and basically the atmosphere! I think this book could be taught in more than one lesson and in many different ways.
