Reviewed by Bob Walch

The youngster featured in this book begins by introducing the reader to his universe and the planets and stars that ·glow bright and light up the night.· From outer space, he then heads down towards Earth, his ·own little piece of the universe.· The journey continues as the next focus is on the child·s country, then his town, his house, his room and then his very own bed.

The rhymed narrative makes this not only a pleasant read aloud book, but also one that beginning readers should be able to handle without too much difficulty. Introducing children to the concept that we are part of a much bigger world is also a good idea, and this picture book does so in a free and easy manner.
