Book Reviews of 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
Book Review: A Book of Wonder and Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
A good book can open the mind and heart. This is a VERY good book.
I bought it as a gift for a 4th grader and neither of us could be more pleased.
The text answers many questions in a delightful and informative way. 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. It truly is a feast for the senses of children ages 9-12.
I recommend this book without reservation for any child in that age group.
