A fascinating and very informative almanac about the night sky。 I didn't realise how much I didn't know！ Who would have thought there were so many different names for a full moon。 Brilliant illustrations abound to support all of the information about our night sky。 This would make a great gift for anyone with an interest in the night sky。 Thanks to Storm Dunlop， Will Tirion， Net Galley and Harper Collins for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 A fascinating and very informative almanac about the night sky。 I didn't realise how much I didn't know！ Who would have thought there were so many different names for a full moon。 Brilliant illustrations abound to support all of the information about our night sky。 This would make a great gift for anyone with an interest in the night sky。 Thanks to Storm Dunlop， Will Tirion， Net Galley and Harper Collins for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
