Starry Tales

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Sophy Williams. The stories of how the moon and sun came to be, how the big bear and the little bear were placed in the stars, and how Orion was killed by Scorpio are retold in this volume illustrated with plentiful color vignettes (but no star maps). McCaughrean takes tales from every part of the globe and stamps them with her signature mix of poetic language and slight playfulness.
