From the #1 New York Times Best-Selling “Who Was?”
Series, Stephanie Sabol brings another hit educational book: Where Are the
Constellations? This book comes with timelines, a removable constellation
map, great illustrations, and tons of knowledge about the stars. The reader
gets to understand why we started cataloging constellations, past uses of stars
in navigation, the life of a star, zodiac constellations, and so much more. This
book is written from a secular point of view, so the big bang theory is
referenced as the main explanation for how the universe began. Overall, this is
truly a great book for any reader looking to know more about those beautiful
balls of fire in the sky! 112 pgs, pb. ~ Kathryn
Publisher's Description of Where Are the Constellations?
Ancient people from many different cultures–Greek, Roman, Mezo-American, Arab–all looked up and imagined pictures in the sky by “drawing” a line from one star to another, like a connect-the-dots puzzle. These star pictures–constellations–represented myths and legends from the various cultures that still fascinate us today.
