Once upon a Starry Night: A Book of Constellations

32 pp. | National | February, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7922-6332-4 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christina Balit. This book summarizes the myths associated with ten constellations, from Cassiopeia to Argo. Each double-page spread illustrates its constellation, with figures surrounding the foil silver stars embedded in a night sky. Additional information concludes the text, and endpapers map the northern and southern skies. The book succeeds artistically but is too slight to be an astronomy guide.
