I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and have taught English classes for many years. I have loved reading since I read my first chapter book at age seven. I soon discovered science fiction and fantasy and have been in love with these genres ever since. More than anything else, I believe instilling a love for good literature and reading helps children develop imagination, good character, and a lifelong habit of learning. Star Ka'at was the book I used with my own sons to introduce them to science fiction when they were young. It has been a family favorite. Now my sons are reading this exciting story to their children.
A copy of the book: Star Ka'at by Andre Norton and Dorothy Madlee. YOu may find it in your local library or purchase it from an online retailer. Amazon currently has the paperback listed for $2.50. The Kindle edition lists at $2.99.
