Mina, an anthropomorphic rabbit, has many questions about stars so her mother suggests they take a few friends to visit the "star museum." At the museum, they learn all kinds of information about outer space.

I had been looking forward to using this book for a storytime but immediately saw it would not work for that. There's A LOT of text on every page, and that's before getting into the extra fact snippets that make up 'sidebar' material. Although it's nominally a picture book, this book reads more like an informational book with just the slightest hint of a story's trapping.

The illustrations are mostly pretty neat, with what looks like paper cutouts of the animals overlaid on photographic images of planets, galaxies, etc. The first page of the book has text typed over the child's yellow-and-white striped bedroom wall, which makes it blinding to read and a very poor graphic design choice.

Despite its title, this book covers more than just stars. Throughout the book are little prompts for children to work on projects of their own, such as making a star-themed dinner or writing a star poem.

Because this book is lengthier and chockful of information, I'd recommend it for elementary school ages rather than preschool and younger. However, the bunny aspect might seem 'babyish' to kids in the upper elementary grades, so this might be limited to those in kindergarten through second grade. ( )

A little bunny named Minna asks her mother about stars, and they take a trip to the Star Space at the Children's Museum.
