We read this years ago when my AppleBlossom was on her Memoria Press Kindergarten Enrichment adventure. Today, we revisited it with my Rascal's own Kinder journey. We read about Christopher Columbus in Follow the Dream by Peter Sis and then about cartography with the help of the Cat in the Hat's Learning Library to follow up with The Big Dipper from the Let's Read and Find Out Science series. What a beginning to a mystery of science and history my son is beginning to venture out into. This book isn't the best illustrations in my opinion and it is ridiculously simple, but perhaps exactly so as it should be for a kindergarten introduction. With the vast and complex illustrations from Peter Sis, this book made a good companion. Overall, I love the Let's Read and Find Out Science series and I cannot wait as he starts to dive into more of them.

I own a really old paperback copy of this that I bought used. We sought and bought a copy on the recommendation of the Memoria Press Kindergarten Enrichment.
