This week Bright Star, Night Star hit No. 2 on Amazon's Hot New Children's Books list. It opened mid-February at No. 5. <\/p>\n
The children's astronomy book has activities for finding stars, constellations, planets and other heavenly bodies. Rich illustrations by Spanish artist Luis F. Sanz help identify objects and online secrets add depth and details. The vocabulary is suitable for children ages 5 - 9. <\/p>\n
