From the author of the bestselling book 50 Things to See with a Small Telescope, this colorful edition explores the constellations with young readers, guiding them to dozens of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Every page features a helpful "telescope view", showing exactly how objects appear through a small telescope or binoculars.

While a member of the Mount Diablo Astronomical Society in California, John Read taught thousands of students how to use telescopes and explore the night sky. Now, he's sharing this knowledge with you! Even without a telescope, this introduction to the night sky is essential for every child's collection.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Shortly after receiving his pilot’s license as a Royal Canadian Air Cadet, John dropped out of Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University to pursue a degree (and career) in Corporate Finance. A few years later, his wife bought him a twelve-inch Dobsonian Telescope for Christmas (to be fair, she got leather boots). He joined the Mount Diablo Astronomical Society, volunteering as many as four nights per week under California’s cloudless skies. During his time at MDAS he began writing essays for the club’s magazine, Diablo MoonWatch, and later published his first book, 50 Things to See with a Small Telescope. In 2016, John left corporate America, and is now a full time astrophysics student in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Not much good if you live in the southern hemisphere

Reviewed in Australia on 1 January 2021

Verified Purchase

Our niece received a telescope for Christmas and I thought this would help her get the most out of it. There are lots of things you can look at with a telescope, like hills and wildlife, as well as the sky and I assumed that was what would be covered. It never dawned on me that it would only cover the night sky and only the northern hemisphere. There are a couple of pages talking about types of telescope and how to use them and the information on constellations is well done, but we live in Australia so not much chance of seeing any of that. It does cover the planets so I'm hoping the book will help her identify those.

Brilliant book for children with a telescope

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is excellent for pointing out the stars and constellations above us. It explains in language what children will understand. Brilliant. We have bought it for our granddaughter as part of a present with a telescope. Really looking forward to her face when she sees both the telescope and the book. A smiley face I think.

Not worth any stars, a cheap badly printed effort of a book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is VERY badly printed. Lots of the words not visible due to poor page layout. Some examples in these photos but it's like this on every page.

Also, the book talks about winter skies and summer skies, but not where in the world! What you see will be different in northern and southern hemisphere.

Edited to add seller very understanding and refund received.
