This book is an excellent introduction for small children to astronomy. The facts are simplified, but correct. The matter of fact way the material is presented credits children with the ability to begin to understand concepts that are rather complicated. The pictures are simple, but that only

emphasizes the accessibility of the material. The book does not assume that children do not understand the stars nor begins with dispelling Earth centric models. The book builds on correct observations and inferences that all children make, thus giving them a strong foundation for more study.
