Sky Gazing: A Guide to the Moon, Sun, Planets, Stars, Eclipses, and Constellations

The media could not be loaded. As a homeschooling parent exploring Astronomy with my children this year, this book has proven to be an invaluable addition to our curriculum. This book has exceeded our expectations and has been a tremendous asset in our learning journey.One of the most striking features of this book is its visually stunning presentation. Each page is a masterpiece, adorned with colorful backgrounds, captivating drawings, illustrations, and breathtaking photos. The visual appeal immediately captures the attention of young learners, making the subject matter even more fascinating.The book's content is thoughtfully organized into small, digestible chunks of text, which is ideal for children. It strikes the perfect balance between providing essential information and keeping the content engaging and accessible. Additionally, the presence of a recurring cartoon character called "Star Dude" adds a fun element while offering important definitions and salient facts throughout the book.The book covers a wide range of astronomical topics, including the sky, the moon, the sun, planets, and stars. Notably, it provides clear instructions for engaging hands-on activities and crafts, such as creating a red flashlight to protect night vision or a pinhole projector to observe a solar eclipse. These practical applications add an interactive dimension to the learning process, making it even more engaging and memorable.

Bought this for my neighbor kid, who enjoys astronomy. Lots of age appropriate factual scientific information beautifully illustrated, easy to read format for young learners. And for me: very fun book. WOW for the glow-in-the-dark cover!

Sky Gazing is a high quality hard cover book. It is not over technical as most all sky gazing books are. I gave this book along with a pair of binoculars for my nephew's birthday. I have been an active astronomy hobbiest for over 35 years and know star gazing books. This one covers planetary subjects, lunar subject, meteors, asteroids and introduces the reader to deep sky objects. The book is colorful and fun to read. It is highly recommended.

my 5 year old is obsessed with space and wanted to dive deeper into the subject. we've really enjoyed reading this book (I read it to him) - it makes the information accessible. its nice that we can pick a random page and start reading and I'm learning with him as we go through it.

This book has great pictures and information for kids getting into star gazing. I bought for my 12 year old cousin for Christmas, but it's too easy of a read fir her.

Great gift to build interest in the sky and what it holds. Great book!

Interested in Astronomy? This is an excellent book!

Bought this for my 3 year old and she loves it! I have learned so much from the book too. Really great information and beautiful photos.

So much simple explanation of a vast topic for our inspiring astronomers and astronauts! Highly recommend!
