Stars Shown to the Children by Ellison Hawks, 1910

The "Shown to the Children" series was a popular narrative-style nature study collection written for children in the early 1900's. 

The book "Stars Shown to the Children" is the ninth volume in this British series. Share with your children the beauty and wonder of astronomy with this descriptive narrative. We may think that an older publication must be outdated, but this is a family favorite. The constellation illustrations are sure to spark their imaginations, and you will be surprised with the photography for the time. A real treasure. 

This book is a beautiful complement to any homeschool space study unit or as an evening star watching companion. This is without a doubt one of our favorite little books in our homeschool. 

This ebook is a digitally remastered copy of the first edition publication. It has been preserved in its original typeface with loads of, full-colour illustrations for your enjoyment. At The Living Books Library, you don't just own a book, you own a piece of history.
