Why read it?

The Greeks imagined a whole menagerie of animals in the stars, but the constellations can sometimes be difficult to figure out. National Geographicâs Zoo in the Sky changes all that. It lines up the stars with Christina Balitâs vibrant artwork, bringing the Great Bear, the Great Dog and the other animal constellations to life. Itâs a gorgeous way to learn and enjoy the stars for both young and old readers alike.
From Sandra's list on childrenâs books about astronomy.
