Learn the stories behind the stars and how to spot them in the sky. The book includes a star-finder on the cover and a pop-up star map inside!
Take this book outside and use the built-in star wheel cover to find constellations in the sky. Keep it inside and use the included pop-up star map and a light to turn any room into a planetarium by projecting constellations onto the wall or ceiling. Whether you have a front yard or a fire escape, a small room or a big one, the whole sky is yours to explore.
Filled with science cover to cover, this is the perfect first book of astronomy. Kids will learn what star is, the life span of a star, light years, how to find north, and much else about the night sky. Packed with adventure, readers will discover over 28 stories of the stars, from Andromeda, who's tied to the rock as a sacrifice to Cetus, the sea monster, to the heroic tales of Hercules, Perseus, Pegasus, Orion, the zodiac, the Greek gods, and favorites like Ursa Major and Ursa Minor (the Big and Little Dipper).
