PreS-Gr 1–A lyrical text takes readers on a magical train ride and through the dreams of a sleeping child to Constellation Station. Once there, readers will learn about important figures in astrology and Greek mythology including Pisces the Fish, Orion the Hunter, the winged-horse Pegasus, and many more. Full-page illustrations of the galaxy and mythical relics are immersive, while the back matter enhances the reading experience. The book includes a thoughtful note from the author, information about STEM connections, activities, and a glossary. These resources make the text useful in a classroom setting, and more accessible to independent readers.
VERDICT Whether an aspiring scientist or casual reader, this book is a delightful exploration and a great addition to school library collections.
