Guidebook to the Wonder of the Stars
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book has given my family and the whole neighborhood a way to look at the greater universe. The glow in the dark constellations give children a way to make sense the night sky. My son used his copy of the book until it literally fell apart. Now we are passing on evenings of wonder and imagination to my nieces and nephews. They will be getting their own copies of theis delightful book for Christmas.
Simply enjoyable

A very simple and beautifully illustrated book for all ages. We spent many summer nights in the hammock exploring the universe. I have given this book to both children and adults as a gift, always with excellent results. Easy to follow, no reading skills necessary for younger viewers.
Absolutely beautiful...

Something you don't get these days in astronomy class is the perspective of the ancients and how they saw the night sky. This book very nicely illustrates figures around the constellations as celestial maps from the past have. Orion is the only constellation most people seem to be able to visualize, and this gives "faces" to many others. The glow in the dark feature is especially fun for my three year old and we've shortened the life span of many a light bulb.
Great book for amateurs, terrific for a camping trip!

We've used this book when away from city lights. It's pitched for kids and adults, and is very easy to use (with instructions with each illustration to orient you by month and time). Great illustrations, but very little text. But you can't read in the dark anyway, and you'll be too busy learning the constellations!
Easily identify constellations during different seasons.

Although this book is clearly meant for children 8 and older, my four-year-old has been studying it for a full year. It's glow-in-the-dark constellations captivate her, and finding the constellations in the night sky re-inforces what she has learned. It's layout is simple for us to follow along with her, and it has sparked what could be a life-long interest for her.
