Signs and Seasons

When I won my copy of Signs & Seasons from the Old School House I was excited. After looking through the book I am even more excited.
This is much different than the other star books on our shelves or the chapter in the textbooks that tell you dry numbers about how big the sun is and how many years it would take you to go to the planet Neptune. This book tells you how to find the stars how to keep time with the sky, how to follow the seasons with the stars. It has 7 chapters on everything you wanted to know about the night sky, a chapter about Calendars, and 40 pgs of field activities to do for each chapter. The first activity is to get 5 paving stones to build a backyard compass, (about 7.50$ at our local Lowe's Hardware.)I am already looking forward to doing this with my kids!
Oh! I should say that you do not need any fancy equipment to do the things in this book.
Very user friendly. The things we will do in this book will build memories that will last a life time.
