CHAPTER 1
WHAT ARE CONSTELLATIONS?
Look up into the sky on a clear night, far from the lights of a city. You can see the moon, many stars, and maybe even a planet. Some of the stars look like bright diamonds. Others glow faintly. A few of them twinkle. You might look for groups of stars to form patterns. Join the stars in the patterns, like a dot-to-dot puzzle. Do you see a princess? Perhaps you see a dragon.
