Zoo in the Sky, A Book of Animal Constellations

6/24/2021

 
Picture
Informational picture book, 32 pages. Sky watchers long ago imagined a whole zoo of animals in the night sky. Learn about many constellations including the Great Bear, the Toucan and the Dragon. The art is fascinating. Published in 1998 by the National Geographic Society.

Summer Night

Summer nights and children seem to be made for each other! Campfires, fireflies and stars. Visit an observatory. Borrow some binoculars for stargazing. Or plan to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower between July 17th and August 26th, 2021 -- there should be around 50 to 75 meteors per hour on the peak night of August 11th.  Look for a location away from urban lights, dress appropriately, and carry water and a snack.
