This award-winning book capturing the glittering light show of the
constellations is now available in paperback.
Take an illuminating ride through the starry night sky with
National Geographic's "Zoo in the Sky!" Little Bear and the Great
Bear in the Northern Sky; the scaly dragon winding his long tail;
the Great Dog chasing the Hare in the Southern Sky; all are
beautifully rendered in Christina Balit's vibrant art, studded with
shiny stars, which perfectly illustrates Jacqueline Mitton's rich
text.

Council Award REVIEW(S): "A visually dynamic introduction to the
animal constellations." --"Booklist"
"Mitton offers poetic, abbreviated legends of the nighttime sky,
while Balit's paintings, highlighted by shimmering silver stars,
give visual meaning to the text." --"Kirkus Reviews"
"This is an attractive introduction to astronomy... [T]he simple
poetic descriptions will capture the attention of preschoolers and
early elementary-age children alike. A brief explanation of stars
and constellations rounds out this lovely and unusual offering."
--"School Library Journal"
