Full description for A Child's Introduction to the Night Sky

  • This entertaining tour of the stars, planets and other heavenly bodies is sure to get 8-12 year old kids excited about the science, myths and magic of the night sky - and teaches them how to find and recognise the objects in it. Whimsical colour illustrations on every page, plus handy definitions and factual sidebars help to engage young readers and develop their interest in astronomy. * The story of the stars, the planets and the constellations - and how you can find them in the sky. * The book includes a glow-in-the-dark starwheel guide to the constellations and glow-in-the-dark stickers of the solar system. * Sequel to the previous Child's Introduction books to The Orchestra and to Poetry. * Astronomy and space are ever-popular subjects for young readers - both girls and boys. Stargazing is a family learning activity that can be pursued all year round, without expensive equipment or elaborate preparation.
