Our Take

Have a kid who's interested in astronomy? This book is a great gift. It will help turn that little spark into a lifelong love of the night-sky.

Description

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.

Elizabeth O. ★★★★★

My nine-year-old picked out a constellation on our first night out. The book’s seasonal sky maps made it easy for her. She’s already planning which planet to find next.

Daniel ★★★★★

The constellation charts are laid out so clearly that my son could find Orion on his first try. It’s the perfect balance of simple explanations and fascinating facts for a curious 10-year-old.

Ava I. ★★★★★

My daughter devoured the section on constellations and could immediately point out Orion after reading just a few pages. The diagrams are clear and make the moon phases finally click for her. It's the perfect balance of simple explanations and real science.
