The Moon claims Lucero and turns her into a brilliant star that guides the many thousands of butterflies in their migratory journey from Mexico to Canada. Before being assigned the person whom they will accompany and take care of for life, angels must attend Angel School, where they will receive the education necessary to take on all of the challenges they will soon face. The little angels learn to get along with each other and have as much fun as possible during their free time, because once they graduate, they won't get any vacations or days off. David J.

Smith has found clever devices to scale down everything from time lines (the history of Earth compressed into one year), to quantities (all the world wealth divided into one hundred coins), to size differences (the planets shown as different types of balls). A great classroom reference that can be reached for again and again when studying scale and measurement, and also for math applications in other disciplines. 2017-18 TEJAS STAR READING LIST, 2015 USBBY'S HONOR LIST OF OUTSTANDING INTERNATIONAL BOOKS AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR 124 WWW.
