This black-and-white illustrated, informational book from Dover allows students to color in their own beginning astronomy book. The text covers basic information on each planet in the solar system, stars, constellations and galaxies, as well as some discussion about what ancient cultures discovered about the stars. Be aware that the text attributes the Big Bang theory as the cause for creation, taking an old-earth, evolutionary stance. It also accredits meteors as the cause of mass dinosaur extinction. 8.25" x 11", 46 pp, sc. ~ Ruth
