Is it possible to talk about the complex science of astronomy in a simple and engaging way? How to penetrate the secrets of the birth and life of distant stars and planets? Why are the people of the Earth so interested in the mysterious fiery Sun? In his new books “Alka in the Solar Kingdom”, “How Alka and the Friends of the Planet Counted”, “Wanderings of Alka and the Dwarves along the Milky Way” Efrem Pavlovich Levitan, one of the best experts in astronomy, answers the question all these and many other questions. Together with the main characters, Alka and Sveta, with whom many young readers are already familiar from the book “For Kids about Stars and Planets,” children find themselves in a fairy tale written by Dad. The ubiquitous inquisitive gnomes Knopkin and Nedouchkin set off with them on an extraordinary stellar journey. The book can be used when studying school courses “The World Around You” and “Natural History”
