4.0 out of 5 stars
okay,
By Aaron Combs (TX,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stars and Planets: Identifying Them, Learning About Them, Experiencing Them (Barron's Nature Guide) (Paperback)
it is pretty good book for youngsters I think it's really good it has some things that you might have not ever heard before.But now it's outdated somewhat because it doesn't tell when the stars are in in 2002 or 2003. But really anything else on it's great. the other problem is that it doesn't show ou not much things on earth as jupiter or any other planet on in the glossary. It has customary measurement and metric if you want to know.
