"Shooting stars streaking tails of sparkling light / The Big Dipper holding a scoop of night." Using brightly colored paper-collage illustrations and an engaging rhyming text , Barner introduces the sun, stars, and planets. While some scientific facts are appended, the book's best use is as a first visual tour of the solar system.
