"I have bought multiple copies of this book over the last 10 years and give it to adults and children alike. This is the best beginner astronomy book that has ever been written. It is so user friendly...anyone can easily find new constelations in the very first try. Worth every penny! The book was written by the authors of Curious George. It does not use difficult words and it is full of great drawing too."
"The absolute best book available for making sense of the night sky for all ages. This book is best to use if children are involved, but Rey's other science book called The Stars go hand-in-hand for various levels of difficulty. My highest 5-star rating to these books by the author of Curious George."
"My dad got me this book when I was a kid and was really interested in star for a while. It is very kid friendly and has cute pictures and jokes. The constellation information doesn't change, but I'm sure some of the other info is outdated, at least in my edition. I also own the book by the same author called The Stars, but I did not read it as much as a kid. While looking up this book, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was written by the person who wrote Curious George books, which I have never read, but can still see the resemblance in the books appearance."
