Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
Great introduction for budding stargazers, with experiments kids can do with everyday materials and tips on how to get started observing the wonders of the planets, stars and moon.
Review
Designed to a fare-thee-well by the British packager Dorling Kindersley, this handsome volume is well-suited to a novice explorer of the stars and planets. Intelligently divided into manageable learning-bites, the young reader is introduced to astronomy's pioneers - Ptolemy, Copernicus, Gallileo; told what to look for and where in the night sky, and even clearer instructions for making a telescope at home. If the book has a major drawback, it is its classroom-like emphasis on projects, with detailed and numbered steps to completion. Every double page spread has its own project, and the lack of a continuing, connected text may be disappointing to a child seriously interested in delving deeper into astronomy. Author Harry Ford is Planetarium Lecturer at the Old Observatory in Greenwich, England and an enthusiastic guide for neophytes. The Child who is hooked by this introduction to the galaxy will surely be inspired to learn more. -- From Parents' Choice®
