Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this new edition of her classic picture book, Gibbons depicts ancient astronomers at work, describes several kinds of telescopes, and profiles five distinctive galactic forms, from irregular to lenticular. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Planet Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy, the cloudy band of light that stretches clear across the night sky. How many galaxies are there in the universe? For years astronomers thought that the Milky Way was the universe. Now we know that there are billions of them. Gail Gibbons takes the reader on a journey light-years away.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Between an opening description of the Milky Way and a closing claim that galaxy formation is still going on, the author depicts ancient astronomers at work, describes several kinds of telescopes, and profiles five distinctive galactic forms, from irregular to lenticular. Pairing brief, matter-of-fact generalizations leavened with digestible doses of specific information to painted scenes that link diverse groups of human observers to galaxies seen in blobby, broadly brushed portraits, this introduction to some of the universe's largest structures will put stars in the eyes of the most Earthbound young readers.</p>--John Peters, New York Public Library<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>According to <i>The Washington Post</i>, Gail Gibbons has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator. The multi award-winning Ms. Gibbons is the author of more than 100 books for young readers, including the bestselling titles <i>From Seed to Plant</i> and <i>Monarch Butterfly</i>. Her many honors include the Regina Medal, the Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award and the NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book Award.
