This stylish, informative board book helps younger children identify six of the most recognizable animal constellations from The Big Bear to The Southern Fish. Each constellation is introduced as a cluster of stars with its connected-line shape; readers then guess the animal through a series of read-aloud clues. A full animal illustration gatefold reveals the answer, accompanied by extra information about the constellation and its important stars. Perfect for bedtime stargazing!

Reviews for Animals in the Sky

You might think that astronomy would be too advanced a subject for children of board book age, but in fact this is done so nicely that it's as much about guessing animal shapes as learning about the stars. --BookTrust Cleverly constructed board book and a beautifully visualised introduction to the stars. --LoveReading4Schools
