The Star Chart in the Hayloft

Jack Bramble

Climb the creaky ladder, switch on your lantern, and spread out the star chart Grandad hid in the hayloft. Before morning, you will learn why the moon shrinks and grows, and how to find the Summer Triangle winking through the barn roof. This is a gentle, factual story for curious listeners around six to nine who like quiet adventures and real sky science. Angus Ferrier reads with a soft Scottish warmth, as if he too is leaning over your shoulder in the hay, pointing out constellations and letting the barn owls do the dramatic bits. Good for bedtime or a dim, cozy afternoon.
