A get to know Comet ISON book for kids and for the adults who will have to answer all those questions about the fuzzy thing that has appeared in the sky.Anura Guruge, the author of this book, has already published two books on Comet ISON for adults.Comet ISON, C/2012 S1 (ISON), is expected to be a sight to behold, a very bright comet with a long flowing tail. It might, as it gets close to the Sun, be bright enough to be seen during the day - a daylight visible comet. It is hoped that ISON will be a 'great'. There is a possibility that it might even surpass that to become the 'comet of the century'. It will, however, definitely be the first comet seen by most kids in the northern hemisphere not to mention their parents - Hale Bopp, in 1997, having been the last major comet readily seen north of the equator. Kids, as they should, will be intrigued and captivated. Yes, there will also be some understandable 'concerns' since they will, alas, hear unfounded stories about what this comet is going to do. This book will make sure that they get to know and appreciate the facts. This comet, like the majority of other comets, is harmless. Just a treat in the sky. Kids should keep this book as a memento to remind them in years to come and that they were indeed lucky enough to see Comet ISON, the 'great comet of 2013'.
