Spark our littlest learners' interest in the night sky!
The stars in the sky help scientists,
and also point the way.
Certain groups of stars tell a story,
or tell us the month and day.
For thousands of years, the stars have filled humankind with wonder.
They have pointed the way, helped us tell time, and best of all, told us
stories. Now, curious kids can explore the night sky with Stories in the
Sky: Constellations. From Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, Leo the Lion, Orion
the Hunter, and more, ten of the most popular and easiest-to-find
constellations in the night sky are featured with beautiful
illustrations that show the stars in the constellation as well as a cute
rendering of the animal or person it represents. The fun, rhyming text
introduces the ancient Greek or Roman character most often associated
with the constellation, and the fun facts on each spread include basic
information about where and when to find each of them.
