One of my favorite books, but the planetary tables end in 2006
I absolutely love this book, so much so that I have given it as a gift a number of times and my copy is one of the most well-worn volumes on my bookshelf.

The Stars A New Way To See Them
This book is a very good guide for the beginner as well as veteran stargazers. The book's biggest asset lies in the way the stick figures are drawn. Unlike the drawings before this book was published Rey's drawings are realistic in shape,...

Awesome for amateur star-gazers!
This book is the BEST format for learning the constellations with your kids, and getting a good feel for the "summer sky", "winter sky", etc... Even my six year old can pick out obscure groupings by using the charts. We spend evenings after...

None Better, Never Has Been
When I was a kid, my father had a clever response to my "Why?" He threw books at me. Once I asked about the stars, and this book was what I got. And what a book it was! It taught me the mechanics of the nights sky, about the Moon and planets, what...

Fantastic
This book is full of info for the casual observer of the night sky. Its easy to use and got loads of pics/diagrams to make viewing the heavens so easy. Great for kids...maybe to use with a scout troop. Buy this book and you will be hooked on the sky.

Forget Curious George!
While H.A. Rey may be known best for his children's book series, Curious George, this book--The Stars--is by far my favorite book he has written. It is informative and interesting, and gives you a great basis on which to build as you go forward...

A very handy Guide
I use this book when I go camping with my Girl Scouts. It is very easy to use, and even the youngest girls can locate various constellations using this text. There is enough additional information to make the text interesting to my older girls...

Great but flawed printing
This is a wonderful book but the version I was sent did not match the See inside version. The copy I received was printed in China, rather than the United States, and had numerous problems. The binding cracked when I opened the book, one page had...
