Constellations for Kids: An Easy Guide to Discovering the Stars

This has become one of my kindergartener's favorite bedtime books. And it's interesting enough that I don't mind rereading it. As an adult who has always wanted to know about the constellations, I really like how beginner friendly this is while also being full of enough helpful information that even I am excited about looking for these constellations now. We have constellation books made for grown ups but I admit that they're daunting and I often declare that it will be impossible to spot anything. But this makes star gazing seem far more accessible.There's basic but mindfully selected information that won't overwhelm new readers. My kindergartener likes the short blurb explaning the lore behind a particular constellation and it's nice to have a starting off point in case we want to investigate further. But I also appreciate that the writer didn't bog us down with too much text and information that might make a small child antsy to sit through.The way they book is ordered is also rather ingenious. The sections are marked by seasons that are best to observe any particular constellation!It's such a thoughtfully crafted book. Great value for the price (currently $7). My emerging reader is also growing more confident about "reading" it himself because the text is large. It makes it easy to point out words and sound out letters etc.

My daughter is 9 and has struggled with reading skills. She is named after the stars and always asking where constellations are so I got thus for her for christmas. It took her a couple weeks to actually try reading this. Now she is showing me cool things she has learned and what she learned about her name. She takes this book to school came home and talked about how much fun her and her friend had going through it. It's been a great book for her to read and she only needs help on a few words. Great book beautifully put together and fun stories for kids. She loves showing how she can find constellations based on the season. Highly recommend this book.

My gandaughter loved searching the skies !

Very easy to read. Examples of what you are looking for. Explanations of what you are seeing.

Cute little book. I would say age appropriate 5-7 years old. Bigger print and easy to read.

My daughter is interested in learning about space so I bought this for her. It has a lot of information that was presented in an interesting way for kids. We will enjoy reading it again and again!

This was book was part of a gift for my grandson, I purchased a telescope and this book for his bday. He has enjoyed learning about the constellations. Perfect for young reader.

Very cool to read even as an adult with basic constellation knowledge. I bought this for my child who is currently fascinated with the sky and everything in it.
