**This charming exploration of the night sky -- featuring a star finder
and glow-in-the-dark stickers -- which has more than a quarter of a
million young astronomers enjoying the night sky in countries around the
world, is now completely revised and updated.
**A Child's Introduction to the Night Sky is the perfect introduction
to the always fascinating world of astronomy. Children ages eight and up
will find out what astronomers have learned (and are still discovering),
what astronauts and scientists explore, and what they can find by gazing
up into the sky at night.
Author Michael Driscoll explains how stars are born, the achievements of
the great scientists, the history of space exploration, the story of our
solar system, the myths behind the constellations, how to navigate the
night sky, and more.
Whimsical color illustrations throughout and handy definitions and
sidebars help engage younger readers and develop their interest. Also
included are a nifty star finder tool and fun glow-in-the-dark stickers.
