You’ve gazed at stars. Perhaps you’ve even identified a few constellations, planets, and other distant objects. Now become a young astronomer. Learn all about outer space. Author, educator, and naturalist Jonathan Poppele presents a kids’ introduction to the night sky. The children’s book, ideal for early and middle-grade readers, conveys fascinating information for beginners. Kids gain an understanding of stars, our solar system, and deep sky objects.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Olivia U. ★★★★★

My 8-year-old went from bored with the night sky to pointing out Orion's belt after just one reading. The astronomy basics are explained so simply that even I learned a few things.

Isabella Z. ★★★★★

The constellation section made it so easy to point out patterns in the sky with my kids, and the astronomy basics are just enough to keep them curious without being overwhelming.

James U. ★★★★★

The constellation section has a nice layout that makes it easy for my daughter to follow along outside. She was able to spot Orion on her own after just one read-through, which felt like a real win.
