"A wonderful introduction to the constellations and the basic concepts of astronomy. I used it to learn the constellations and it sparked my interest in astronomy which has endured for half a century."
"This is an accessible astronomy book that has standard illustrations of the different seasons of the celestial sphere. it also narrates the astronomical topics with cute contour figures that relate to the history of astronomy. I think it was written for young adults."
"I LOVE this book for learning about the stars. I wish more children could have access to this old book by H.A. Rey of Curious George fame. This is very easy to read and understand - a perfect first guide to constellations and the like."
