Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Exploring the Night Sky is aimed at novice star gazers anxious to expand their astronomical repertoire beyond the Big and Little Dippers. Dickinson has designed a superb introduction to astronomy that is clear, concise, beautifully illustrated, and very user friendly no matter what the child's age.

Review:

"Dozens of color paintings and some photographs accompany the text, and there is a page of advice on choosing and using binoculars and telescopes." School Library Journal

they are even teaching their parents basic astronomy.
