Book Review: Caught my Child's Eyes
Summary: 5 Stars
Our son has a budding interest in astronomy and a nine year old's attention span. That's okay b/c he is nine, btw. This book is definitely visual enough to pique his interest in ways that other astronomy books could not. His father (the astronomer...) is thrilled. The photography is quite simply lovely and provides a different perspective on what is up there. I generally use that "other" part of the brain, but even I was quite engaged. Maybe not terribly technical, but it's a start.
