“This guide is beautifully illustrated. It’s a nice size to throw
in a purse or bag for taking to your local observatory or up into
the treehouse…There’s even a section on stargazing with your
children.” –Just a Secular Homeschooler
“Chock full of photographs, graphics, tips, and information - this
book is THE book to read if you want to learn about watching the
night sky and what's in it. You can find out about what telescope
to use and the various star patterns that make up the
constellations. Its so interesting, you can't help but get lost in
the pages of this book - learning so much about the beautiful night
sky that mesmerizes us. I found myself completely engaged in
this book - it was so much fun to read. I loved it!” –A Bookish Way

“I have to get this book, star gazing is one of my favorite
summertime activities.” –Instagram: createexploreread
“If you have any interest at all in ordering the stars when you
look up this book will be a perfect start.” –Broken Teepee
“It is a great educational tool, beautifully illustrated, and jam
packed with information on anything you could see up in the night
sky…The book itself is the perfect size to throw in a bag, or even
keep in the car if you are going on a road trip or somewhere to
stare up at the sky.” –Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
“The book is an easy read, and very interesting. It’s not just
about star constellations, but about many heavenly bodies (like
asteroids). After reading the book, it’s easier to know what to
look for in the night sky – even for an amateur.” –Man of La
Book
“If you are even just casually thinking about stargazing this
summer, this guide is a MUST HAVE. We (my husband and I) know just
enough to seem like experts to our children – though it could now
be argued that my older son knows more astronomy facts than I do.
But now I have this book.” –Sarah Reads Too Much
