Brief summary: Young readers will read Zodiac-inspired fables that are new and modern interpretations of twelve constellations, paired together in sixBrief summary: Young readers will read Zodiac-inspired fables that are new and modern interpretations of twelve constellations, paired together in six short stories: the Ram and the Fish, the Water Bearer and the Goat, the Archer and the Scorpion, the Scales and the Maiden, the Lion and the Crab, and the Twins and the Bull.
Comments: These fables are variants of the Roman/Greek constellation stories. They are original and inspired by the Zodiac.
Each chapter begins with a colorful illustration and ends with the constellation pairing.
This could be a read-aloud to young and older students.
A creative writing idea is reading aloud one of the stories and having students create their own modern fable of one of the constellations.
