It shines all night, all year long, pointing directions as steady as a compass, telling time as true as a clock, and marking the seasons as sure as a calendar. American Indians and ancient Greeks called it a bear, the vikings called it a wagon, and many English people call it the plough. Egyptians blessed their mummies with its likeness, and runaway slaves followed it north to freedom -- the Big Dipper.
Ages 4-8.
