Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Conner and the Telescope Conner E Il Telescopio
Kevin Marx · 2021
68/100
👎 Skip It
A sweet bilingual picture book that pairs astronomy curiosity with early language exposure — the English-Italian format, family togetherness theme, and read-aloud-friendly poetic text are all genuine pluses for families seeking dual-language reading. As a self-published title without editorial vetting, quality can vary, and the very brief 28-page format limits how much science or language depth it can develop. A nice supplemental pick for bilingual households; not a standalone curriculum cornerstone.
