A wonderful resource for kids, this book introduces them to a variety of sky stories that engage, teach, and motivate them to explore and appreciate their surroundings. Written in a voice and style that can be read by parents or children, Ann's words are accompanied by kid-friendly illustrations that include both constellations and sky maps! --Michael A.
