Description

This unique bedtime storybook features the Greek Mythology stories behind some of the most popular constellations in the night sky. Each constellation page includes a transparency that casts a shadow of the constellation onto a wall or ceiling. Each page also includes the name of the constellation, as well as a small paragraph about the legend behind it. To see the constellation projection, shine a single-source flashlight behind the transparency. Mobil phone flashlights, finger lights, and old camping flashlights work great. For best results, do not use Multi-LED lights. If the image cannot be seen clearly, try moving the flashlight around (closer or farther/higher or lower). Includes 7 stories total. This book is hardcover with a hidden spiral binding. ~ Brianna
