I LOVE THESE GUIDES!!!

I am completely delighted with "The Little Guides" series. The format is extremely user friendly, and each guide is packed with useful and interesting information. I enjoy reading them, but my 6 year old daughter gives them the most use. While the guides are written at an adult level, there is plenty that she can read and understand. I currently own "Sharks," "Birds," "Mammals," and "Space," and have ordered "Reptiles," "Whales," and "Flowers.""Space" is a great book to start you looking at the stars. It starts with a general tour of the universe, including stars, galaxies, and the solar system. The majority of the book is about observing the sky, with charts for about 100 constellations. The final part of the book discusses space exploration. A pronunciation is given for each constellation, as well as the history (and mythology) of the constellation, and what type of equipment is needed to see different stars in the constellation (binoculars or what power telescope).This is a great resource of adults as well as children!
