Dore has a tree house. His room is a proper astronomical studio. The walls and ceilings are covered with stellar maps. Every night, he and his friends Felix and Lucy identify stars and constellations on the sky. Lucy is the most resourceful of the three, naming the constel- lations after the ice crea...m cone, flying teapot, cherry strudel... just as she sees them. Endless fun is guaranteed for all. They never run out of stars and their game eventually becomes a popular school activity. This picture book is an excellent tool for little astronomers. With its stellar maps for all sea- sons, an 18-page presentation of the night sky with individual constellations, their descrip- tions, Latin names and other data, it comes close to being a textbook. It is ideal for children and adults who wish to acquire or refresh their knowledge of stars and constellations visible to the naked eye.
