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


5 out of 5 stars Great for kids, but adults will get a kick out of it also!   December 22, 2008

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

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


5 out of 5 stars Beautiful book - out of this world   September 20, 2007

My 6 year old son had a class project about the night sky, I purchased this book and was blown away by the detail and artwork, the viewing wheel was a great addition to the book used to great effect by young and old. I gave the book to his Teacher and she was so impressed with it that she used it as a teaching resourse and took inspiration for some lessons out of it, if you only buy one book for your child on astronomy let it be this one


5 out of 5 stars Can be a great book for elementary age with adult/older child's help   April 25, 2007

We purchased this book for my daughter as a reward for a good report card. Her 1st grade class has been learning about space. While the book may seem a little advanced for first graders it is definitely a book that they can used to reference with an adult's help. The book is broken down in and way and written so that the common person without astronomy knowledge can learn from it and transfer that to the child. This book can also be used as a great resource for teachers teaching younger kids about our universe. Included with this book is a glow in the dark star chart that helps anyone find the constellations. This book provides an easy way to have quality time with a child that is also educational. If you are looking for a one stop shopping book about space that a child can used for a while then this is it!
