This imaginary children's book combining fantasy and astronomy facts was published in 1922.From the book's Foreword:We tell children things in the clearest words at our command. They say the words back to us and we are satisfied that they have learned something. We think that because they have the words they have the idea. A little investigation will show that very often the words are all they have, the sounds, and nothing whatever of the idea. So, whenever you teach a child something new, be sure to tie the stranger to an old familiar friend. If that does not seem possible, use pictures and drawings and illustrations until the child has a group of related ideas concerning this new idea. Then let him talk it back, making his meaning clear by word and gesture and drawing. Beware the empty word!

"And please tell me," said Paul, "how I can take a real good picture of the moon with my Kodak. I tried it 'fore you came last month and there wasn't anything but a white streak in the picture when it was printed--and it ought to have been better, 'cause I exposed the picture for ten minutes." Uncle Henry laughed. "I'll begin with the first question first," he said, "because it is the easiest one to answer. "The words on the sundial are Italian and they mean, 'The Love that moves the sun and the other stars.'" The children were quiet a moment before Betty said, "I like that. It's beautiful--like poetry--and some of Mamma's songs--like, 'The night has a thousand eyes.'" "But is the sun a star?" inquired Paul. "Yes," Uncle Henry assured him, "it is just the same kind of a star as those you see at night, except that we are much nearer to the sun, so it looks very much brighter. Some of the far-away stars are much bigger suns than ours." "Well," said Paul, "it's a good thing we are near to the sun, 'cause if we weren't, this sundial wouldn't work at all, and I like to watch the shadow creep. You can almost see it move. Why does it tell time, Uncle Hen?" "Well," said Uncle Henry, "I move that we go out into the Fairy Ring and wonder about it. Perhaps if we think hard enough Puck will come and help us to find out all about telling time." "That'll be great," said Peter. "It might be a good plan to take your Scout's compass, a wooden barrel or cheese-box hoop, about a ya...
