  • A Childs Introduction to the night sky: The Story of the Stars is a great book for both young and old.

    This book was for our grandson. He is 9 years old and just loves the book. We had given him his telescope the previous year. We thought this would renew his interest in the stars. He loves to read and now he is able to experiment and share this interest with his mom and dad. Great food for minds both young and old alike
