Rating:
Summary: Tales of the Shimmering Sky has something for everyone!
Review: This collection of ten folktales from around the world (Native America, Slovakia, India, Europe, Canada, Polynesia, Mexico, Africa, and Scandinavia) focuses on the sky--heavenly bodies, the seasons, and the weather. In addition to Milord's colorful and creative stories, this resource also contains background information, science experiments, hands-on projects, games, arts and craft activities, and recipes. Children are invited to learn about the mysteries of the sky through exciting activities such as baking a batch of celestial pretzels, solving a lunar calendar puzzle, making a Beaufort scale to estimate wind speed, and flying an origami-style paper kite.
