Night Sky Stories: Myths of the Northern Skies

Long ago people played dot-to-dot with the stars. They made pictures in the sky. Each picture told a story, a tale of wonder, we now call a myth. When Terri McManus discovered that few books allowed beginning readers to enjoy the Greek and Roman myths behind the constellations on their own, she created Night Sky Stories: Myths of the Northern Skies.Written using accessible vocabulary, clear sentence structure, and engaging storytelling, this collection helps children, beginning readers, and English-language learners explore the legendary stories hidden among the stars.Perfect for reading at home, in the classroom, or beneath the night sky, Night Sky Stories encourages readers to strengthen their reading skills while discovering the heroes, creatures, and timeless tales behind the constellations of the Northern Hemisphere.Look up. Connect the stars. Discover the stories waiting in the sky.
