Almost Perfect for a Beginner
We wanted a beginner book for an aspiring backyard astronomer - info on things you can see with your naked eye with no telescope needed. It's almost perfect. I'm focusing on the constellations in my review since that was my main interest, but it also has sections for the moon and planets.Pros: This book shows constellations, connects the dots so you can see what they represent, gives a short blurb about the history/mythology, and talks a bit about the stars that make up the constellation. It's a great balance between the science and the history and nice illustrations.Cons: The only con is that it can be difficult to find the constellations in the sky since this book doesn't give reference points on how to find them. I'm a complete novice so using this book alone can be kind of frustrating trying to locate the constellation I'm reading about. I'm using it in conjunction with Star Finder!: A Step-by-Step Guide to the Night Sky which is good at showing where constellations are in relation to each other (often using the big dipper as a reference point since it's so easy to find). That book is lacking in the history and illustrations that this one excels in, so together they're a good team.

Well written for the novice astronomer
Bought this book for a Christmas present based on reviews I read on Amazon. Very easy to read book full of interesting information. We will use it constantly as a reference. Author explains astronomy in a very clear, logical and forthright manner. Who knew astronomy was so interesting!

So much great information!
As a beginner stargazer, this book has been such a great resource. Keeping it to 100 things is not overwhelming and the info is very helpful. By learning the story behind a constellation and its alpha star, it becomes easier to find that constellation and the ones nearby. Thank you Dean Regas for making my nights enjoyable.
