What Customers Say About A Child's Introduction to the Night Sky: The Story of the Stars, Planets, and Constellations--and How You Can Find Them in the Sky:

This book is just amazing, and I took the reviews to heart that said it was great for adults as well as kids. I won't admit that I may use them as well.

You will not be sorry. (smiling) Yes, I have never lost my childlike wonder and thrill of many things.I've got other books arriving any day now, but this one serves as a great foundation to my learning curve before reading the others.Get this book without delay.

Just received this wonderful book, mere days after ordering. It's an amazing book, and I can't rave enough about it.The starfinder wheel will be great when my telescope gets here, and the glow in the dark stickers.

And you may eventually share it with your kids as well. Am an adult who is just beginning to get into stargazing, and ordered this and a telescope as part of my birthday celebration.

Honestly, the writer did a fabulous job and the illustrator outdid herself.

lol.very well done. Bought this for my nephew and ended up reading the whole thing myself before i gave it to him.

Its a cool book. I bought this for a gift for my grandson. He loves space and the stars, got him a telescope for a gift last year and now its time to get to know the sky.

It truly is a feast for the senses of children ages 9-12. It not only gives names, locating information and descriptions of the planets and constellations, but also information about the mythological beings for which they were named and even lists the attributes of these gods and goddesses. Artwork is a combination of stunning photographs, maps of the sky and wonderful, imaginative drawings. A good book can open the mind and heart. I recommend this book without reservation for any child in that age group. I bought it as a gift for a 4th grader and neither of us could be more pleased. This is a VERY good book. The text answers many questions in a delightful and informative way.

If you want to get your child interested in astronomy, this book is probably a good book for it.
