This was a tough go for me with a lot of confusing terms.This for someone
who wants to say more than "The sky sure is pretty."which is my default. Beautiful pictures, illustrations, sprinkled with kid level jokes to lighten the fact overload. Can see this as a great resource for the home schooler or a scout trying to earn a badge. People have better imaginations than me if they can look at a cluster of stars and see a discernible shape and name the object. The ultimate
dot to dot.

It's so packed with such interesting information, written in an understandable way.

Nifty educational book for kids....my 12 yr old loves it. Informational with enough pictures to make it more palatable for the kids. I would expect no less from National Geographic.

This little book is full of tons of information. We found it very informative. Both my 12 year old and 7 year old loved it. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in astronomy.
