註釋Which child hasn't peered into the night sky to make out those illusive constellations, including Perseus, Hercules, Pegasus, Argo, Andromeda and Cassiopeia? But do these young stargazers realize the stories behind the celestial bodies? Astronomy authority Jacqueline Mitton introduces the stories behind 10 great constellations, drawing on the tales of the ancient gods after whom they were named and the latest scientific knowledge. Christina Balit's spectacular artwork, including foil blocking on the cover, makes this picture book shine. Added bonuses are an information spread and a map of the night sky.
