This book instantly became so special to me. My Dad is retired, and always looking for little things that can keep him busy! I remember as a kid he would always show me the constellations and how to use the sky. I bought this little book for him on his 69th birthday, and his face lit up!! He was so excited to rediscover the night sky and just enjoy the cosmos again! There's a detailed time span of meteor showers, specific constellations and how to travel through the sky in each season! Even where to locate planets, star clusters, nebulae, and unique stories about the constellations. Great gift! Great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Matches the Name
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2022

If you want to simply find constellations in the night sky, this book is for you! It shows what stars make up a constellation and then how to find it. It does this by showing where constellations are in relation to each other (often using the big dipper as a reference point since it's so easy to find). With this it's very easy to find constellations in the night sky.

The only thing this book was missing for me was some history about the constellations. Why are they named as they are? What is the background to the "pictures" they make? I bought 100 Things to See in the Night Sky, Expanded Edition to use in conjunction with this book because it has all of that history, mythology, and outlines of the constellations, but lacks the information on how to find the constellations in the sky. Together, these books make a great team.

5.0 out of 5 stars And excellent book for beginners
Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2022
Verified Purchase
We purchased a telescope and wanted a book to help our children have fun recognising constellations in the night sky. The goal was a book not containing complicated technical terminology seen in most astronomy books and star charts, but with enough sophistication as to not be considered a basic child level ‘introduction into constellations’. The text of the book is not condescending, and is actually a great beginner book for adults, although I would say the target audience is definitely 9-12 year olds.

This book is definitely not a comprehensive outlook of the night sky; however, I would say this book would be a great first step for young astronomers.

The pictures in the book are really nice. It's a simple and easy guide to star gaze for beginners. It would have been better if the myths of the constellations describe a little more. It has very short description (1 - 2 short sentences) of the behind story of some constellations.
