[close] Through bright, bold, beautiful illustrations and easy-to-understand text, Emily Bolam and Caroline Ness introduce young readers to the zodiac--the sun, the moon, the planets, the stars, and the patterns they create across the sky. The zodiac is divided into 12 star signs, and everyone is born under one of them. People have long believed that these signs influence our personality traits. Which star sign is considered to be the leader, which one the daredevil, the inventor, or the stubborn one? All manner of people are represented in Star Signs--young, old, different races and ethnic backgrounds--and the book helps to illuminate the different personalities of the zodiac. This is a lively introduction to an interesting subject, and a book that kids will refer to for years to come. [close]
