Abstract "Throughout our solar system, chunks of ice, gas, and dust fly around in the form of comets. This engaging text introduces readers to the wonders of comets: their size and shape, their formation, and how they orbit the sun. Each of the main parts of the comet is explained using simple vocabulary as well as full-color photos. Fast facts increase readability and interest, while a fun activity encourages readers to use their new knowledge in an entertaining way. The book supports the Common Core English Language Arts standards for reading informational texts, and also correlates directly with Next Generation Science Standards"-- Provided by publisher.
