Grandes questions sur l'Univers

Frith, Alex, (Auteur pour la jeunesse),

Où commence l'espace? À quelle altitude volent les astronautes? Que représente une année-lumière? Qu'est-ce qu'une orbite? De quoi se compose un télescope? Sera-t-il possible de vivre sur Mars un jour? Voilà certaines des grandes questions sur l'univers et l'astronomie auxquelles ce documentaire s'emploie à répondre. Divisé en cinq chapitres, l'ouvrage débute en définissant les bases (l'univers, où est-il situé, ce qu'il contient, etc.). Le deuxième chapitre concerne le système solaire et s'attarde sur la constitution des planètes, avec une attention particulière pour Mercure, Vénus, Mars, la Terre, mais également les comètes, les astéroïdes et les lunes. Le troisième chapitre est consacré aux étoiles et on y explique notamment comment elles naissent tout en nommant les principales constellations. Le quatrième chapitre s'attaque à l'exploration spatiale et recense les principales missions, tout en abordant l'intriguant métier d'astronaute. L'ouvrage se termine par un ensemble de questions et de réponses diverses portant notamment sur l'origine du Big Bang, ce qu'est un trou noir, ce qu'est une étoile à neutron, s'il existe de la vie ailleurs que sur Terre, etc. [SDM]. Un documentaire vivant, structuré par chapitres et abondamment imagé qui favorise l'appropriation ludique et dynamique du sujet. Des illustrations alliant éléments de synthèse et photos animent cet ouvrage où l'on suit au travers des pages deux enfants et un robot-fusée qui émettent des commentaires ici et là en phylactères. Par le biais de questions présentées dans une taille de police plus volumineuse que le corps du texte, les informations sont formulées à travers des paragraphes suivis, des encadrés et des phylactères, si bien que la mise en page s'en retrouve parfois alourdie. Le contenu demeure néanmoins diversifié et pertinent, ce qui devrait plaire aux jeunes curieux qui souhaitent développer leurs connaissances sur l'univers. À la fin, on dresse la liste des professions liées à l'espace, tandis qu'un glossaire permet de lire la définition de plusieurs termes et qu'un index offre la possibilité de se repérer plus aisément à travers le contenu.

It happened on Sweet Street

Three different bakers all trying to outclass one another means their little cul-de-sac is packed with customers every day and night, so, one morning, when everyone is bumping and jostling each other with their cakes, cookies and pies, a food disaster-- a massacre of cream, a devastation of crumbs-- is inevitable! Only one little girl has the drive (or appetite?) to find a solution, but can it last? This madcap tale of frenzied cooks and zany eats (and one very lucky town) will delight readers with a sweet tooth of any age!
