Great read

I got this book for my 8 year old son and we both enjoy it. The pictures are vivid and the information is understandable.

Good childrens introduction to the stars.

I bought this for my seven year old. He is delighted with it, the book is clearly a hit. The text is perfect for him to practice his reading as he learns about the stars.He is especially taken with stars he recognises, such as Betegeuse in Orion. And he was very impressed with the drawing of a planet being sucked into a black hole. That sparked a couple of days of discussion about what life would be like in black holes. Kids always love the gruesome stuff!The photographs of nebulae are very beautiful. I have to admit though, I'll need an adult version to answer some of the questions I am being asked.
