About the book
This book is both intriguing and educational. Who doesn't love to go out under the night sky and get lost in its starry performance?
This book highlights some of the most well-known constellations that are showcased in the heavenlies. It is a wonderful introduction for a potential star-gazer and features Draco (the dragon), Leo (the lion), Ursa Major and Minor ( bears ) Pegasus (a flying horse), Pisces (leaping fish ) , Delphinus (a playful dolphin ), and Orion (a fierce warrior ) just to name a few.
The line-drawn illustrations created against a black sky background are very effective. The book will spark interest and unleash imaginations to come alive when kids are given the opportunity to head outside on a starry, starry night and look up! Personally I like the book a lot and would certainly recommend it.
