[Kat Welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had this book as a child, had to get it again as an adult because I vividly remembered the illustrations. A great children's book.

I liked this book. This book told everything it knows about eclipses. It will be slightly outdated after 2024 but it still has some nice information. This book started out good but turned into an information dump. I would read this book a few days before a solar eclipse. If I could, I would have my students view a solar eclipse. I thought the dragon myth was interesting.
