Review:

Astronomy For Kids is a great way for young learners to explore outer space. Inside this guide readers can learn how to use their eyes, learn telescope basics, seasonal changes in the sky, how to look for color and so much more.

In the Looking for Color section, readers will learn how to detect a star’s color. Did you know that stars move just like the sun? You can learn more in this handy guide. The Winter Hexagon is an asterism formed by six bright stars. In this guide readers will see how this hexagon is associated with the football season. Are you curious about the moon and all of its lunar phases? Did you know that the International Space Station orbits over 200 miles above the earth’s surface?

Perfect for the curious star gazer in your family, this guide shares photos, images and other fun facts in boxes titled That’s So Cool. The back pages have a glossary and plenty of resources where readers can find sky charts, information about eclipses, meteor showers and even clubs and organizations. Parents and teachers can get kids engaged with science. Teachers will love this as a STEM/STEAM guide for students.
