(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christina Wald. This picture book biography traces the life of the woman who developed the classification system currently in use for stars; Annie Jump Cannon (1893–1941) still holds the world record for number of stars classified--over four hundred thousand. Text and illustrations are both a bit static in this catalog of her life. Timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
