Gather up the kids and go stargazing! This book is a wonderful guide for you to make stargazing a monthly event, as you look at the night sky, locate constellations, and learn about them. The book is divided into twelve months. For each month there is one full page star map, a little over a page of information, a photograph of the night sky, and two featured constellations for that month. The book is spiral bound and printed on heavier glossy paper (so it will stand up to repeated use). You can even visit the publisher's website to download a supplemental audio (minimal fee) to give you a tour of your night sky. The price of this book is less than a family night at the movies, and more interactive. 56 pgs. ~ Donna
