From the dust jacket:
The Big Dipper is a handsome introduction to the wonders of the sky. It is written so that beginning readers can use it all by themselves or with their mothers and fathers. It encourages young people to observe the sky, because the directions are clear and easy to follow.
With simplicity, directness, and enthusiasm, Dr. Branley presents information about one comprehensible facet of the sky: the Big Dipper is a perfect starting point for any young stargazer. The author gives directions for locating the Dipper, tells what we know about this famous group of stars, and gives some of the folklore and legend connected with the Dipper.
As in all Let's-Read-and-Find-Out books, there is a happy blend of text and pictures, and the information is scrupulously scientific though simply presented.
