Customer Reviews

great

Item is as described just as good for adults as well as kids. Very informative

Very Neat Book

If you are a fan of the PBS series that comes on tv, you will enjoy this book. I also think it would be great for younger star enthusiasts - the drawings and comic book style of the book would make it lots of fun for children. A very well done and informative book!

Fun & Educational

Only Jack Horkheimer could do this. It's a great book for all ages to learn basic concepts about our earth as a planet, other planets in our solar system and stars. Done in a comic book format, full of color and clever drawings, you can't help going from page to page, you really don't want to put it down. I highly recommend ths book for anyone who wants to learn more about what you see whan gazing at the night sky and for general astronomical information. I gave it four stars and not five stars because I thought the pages are a little bit crowded.

Entertainingly informative

Although you would think the format for this book is somewhat for the very young, it is actually informative and entertaining for any age. I would highly recommend it for those interested in rudimentary celestial information.

Stargazing starter

Stargazing with Jack Horkheimer Cosmic Comics is a great introduction to the night sky for children. I gave a copy to my grandson for Christmas. I also gave a copy to my neighbors son, who has expressed an interest in astronomy. It makes the kids want to "Keep looking up!"
