Rating:
Summary: An easy-to-understand primer for any beginning stargazer
Review: Collaboratively Nigel Henbest and Stuart Atkinson, The Night Sky is a brief yet vert nicely illustrated, full-color beginner's guide to stars and other fascinating things that can be viewed by children in the night sky, including comets, planets, and meteors. One of the titles in the outstanding "Usborne Spotter's Guides" series, The Night Sky is strongly recommended as a highly enjoyable and easy-to-understand primer for any beginning stargazer.

Summary: Usborne Spotter's Guides: The Night Sky
Review: Covers the stars and the planets, and includes a detailed map of the moon. Includes a few quizzes even (i.e. name the constellations shown here). The book is small (7 X 4 1/2), which could be a drawback for some - too small for more than one child to see at a time, yet a plus for others who want to carry it in a pocket. The pages open well so that not too much info is hidden in the crack.
