Stargazer's Alphabet

A is for Andromeda, our neighbor galaxy. B is for Big Dipper, that's an easy one to see. John Farrell takes kids on a rhyming tour of the night sky, from A to Z, with spectacular full-color photographs and facts about the wonders of space. From distant Andromeda, a galaxy made up of billions of stars, to the constellation of the zodiac, Farrell covers the high points of outer space. How do you find Jupiter or Venus? How does the Moon cause the tides of Earth's shores? How can you find the North Star, and why do all other stars seem to go around it? The answers to these and many other questions are contained in this beautiful volume of science that will delight a young reader's imagination.
