―Bill Nye, science educator, author, and CEO of The Planetary Society
'Iâ€ve seen a lot of intro to astronomy books. I think I read my first
when I was nine or ten years old. I wish Iâ€d had this book back then.
It would have been perfect for pre-adolescent me. Itâ€s Informative,
down-to-earth (a good thing, even for a book about stargazing), has easyto-follow
illustrations and instructions, and just the right voice.
Grown-up me appreciate's its great design. Iâ€ve never read a better
beginnerâ€s book for aspiring astronomers of any age. Enjoy it under
clear skies!'―Mat Kaplan, host of Planetary Radio for The Planetary
Society 'Bruce Betts' Astronomy for Kids provides an excellent entry
point for aspiring stargazers. The book guides readers through the
layout of the night sky, then introduces them to the tools of the trade.
By the end of the book, readers will not only know their way around a
telescope but will also gain a deeper appreciation of the wonders of the
universe. After reading the book, I was ready to go out and explore
myself!'―Dante Lauretta, leader of the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission, U.
of Arizona professor, and designer of games including Xtronaut 'What a
wonderful book for a parent or grandparent to share with a child! Itâ€s
the kind of gift that can truly change a life. From early childhood, my
actor colleague on Star Trek Voyager, Tim Russ, has had a passion for
astronomy that I have often envied. Reading Astronomy for Kids
makes me sorry that a book like this was not introduced to me as a
young person. Dr. Betts explains things in a step-wise fashion in words
everyone can understand, allowing young and old to become competent
night sky observers. The book proceeds from naked-eye viewing through
the use of binoculars and a telescope, allowing the reader to see more
and more according to their deepening interest. There are gorgeous
images of planets and stars, clear directions on how to locate them, and
seasonal maps of constellations and key stars. I also appreciated the
references and guides to free associated learning materials. This book
is a treasure, and a great way to stimulate a young mind to look up in
wonder.――Robert Picardo, Actor and Executive Board Member, The
