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:

The visible planets and major constellations are clearly identified, and helpful hints for finding them are provided. There are clear explanations of what to look for, what to see with the naked eye, and how to use binoculars and telescopes to get a better view.

Truly, this is the astronomy book I've been looking for, all these years.Very highly recommended. There are even glow-in-the-dark stickers to use in building your own night-sky model on your own bedroom ceiling or elsewhere.

Incredibly -- despite the title, this book is not just for children.By far, it is simply the best available, most thorough introduction to the night sky and to astronomy, for curious people of all ages -- the sort of book that motivates every parent to tramp outside, book in hand, wearing eager smiles -- with or without the children.Beautiful illustrations decorate and enhance the text. You don't even need a telescope to use this book in your own backyard.

Simply delightful. Everything is here: models which make it possible to easily visualize the size relationships of the planets in our solar system, as well as their distribution and the distances between them.

Packed with information that is not easily or readily found elsewhere, and packaged in an engaging format which is easily accessible.

This book will become an heirloom in our family. This book is perfect for us. I purchased this for my Granddaughter who is 7 years old. She is very interested in the earth & sky.

She loved it from the very beginning. I bought this book for my 5 year old as we begin to explore the world of astronomy.

It makes learning for and you'll find out some things you either forgot, or never knew in the first place. If you want something that you'll enjoy sharing with your kids, this is the book. Great fun for all. Bought this for my daughter and while she loved it, I loved it more. Great illustrations and cartoons with a light-hearted feel.

I looked through the book and found it to be quite interesting. Excellent book. I purchased this as a thank you gift for my ring bearer, who is fascinated with the stars.
