Delightful for Children

This book combined with the other book out by Hoffman has been a favorite of the children I work with for years. This book was recently borrowed and the children I see annually are begging me to get another copy as they love the brief myths available, especially regarding the zodiac. The kids would definitely give these books five stars while I would like to see just a little more detail or a bibliography for those interested in learning more. Thanks for making such a successful book.

This book deserves 10 stars

I saw Sun, Moon and Stars on the shelf at a bookstore and went to it just because the cover was so beautiful. Jane Ray's artwork is fantastic and I wish there were wallpaper made out of the artistry in this book. Mary Hoffman has written a fascinating text that informs us about how many different peoples have viewed these heavenly bodies. You will not be dissapointed.
