A Book of Animal Constellations
by Jacqueline Mitton & Christina Balit

In this "visually stunning" book, shiny metallic stars in the formation of a particular constellation are superimposed onto gorgeous illustrations of the animal or creature it is named after. "Simple, poetic descriptions" also accompany the featured constellation. (School Library Journal)

This is truly a unique and captivating book for introducing constellation to kids.  And, if you like this book, be sure to check out Once Upon a Starry Night -- also about stars and by this same author / illustrator team.
