5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and informative hands-on astronomy book for kids., May 20, 2000
By The Chemist "The Chemist" (Southeastern PA USA) - See all my reviews
The Night Sky is an excellent introduction to astronomy for children. I am a science teacher and have looked at many books preparing for my astronomy unit next year - and The Night Sky will be required reading for my class! Information is interesting and exciting. Stargazing is an essential part of the book, but done in the typical "One Small Square" fashion so as to interest and excite children with their new knowledge rather than overwhelm them. I loved this book! A must-have for any young scientist!
