Astro the Alien and his friends Ben and Eva are excited to play at the park. Ben and Eva teach Astro about empathy after Eva falls and breaks her special sunglasses, and when they include a boy sitting alone at the park. This introduction to life skill concepts includes a note to caregivers with additional resources, reading activities, and a word list. Meet Astro the Alien! Astro landed on Earth and now lives in Ben and Eva’s backyard in a space pod. In each set of books, the group explores various topics so that Astro can learn more about the world the alien now lives in! Written at a slightly higher level than the introductory Dear Dragon series, Astro the Alien books help early readers build on previous skills, expanding vocabulary and learning more complex concepts. Each book includes a note to caregivers, a word list, and activities to promote reading success.
