Mitton describes nineteen of the animal constellations. Although the text does not always make clear where these can be found, star maps for both the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres are included on the endpapers. Vibrant illustrations with silver foil stars help the reader visualize the constellations. The last two pages give more information about stars and the night skies.
