ASTRONOMY INTRODUCTION FOR KIDS A Child's Introduction to the Night Sky is the perfect introduction to the always fascinating world of astronomy.

Author Michael Driscoll explains how stars are born, the achievements of the great scientists, the history of space exploration, the story of our solar system, the myths behind the constellations, how to navigate the night sky, and more. Whimsical color illustrations throughout and handy definitions and sidebars help engage younger readers and develop their interest.
