Sky Gazing: a Guide to the Moon, Sun, Planets, Stars, Eclipses and Constellations by Meg Thacher. 132 p. Storey Books, October, 2020. 9781635860962. (Review of finished copy borrowed from public library.)
Fact Friday features Sky Gazing: a Guide to the Moon, Sun, Planets, Stars, Eclipses and Constellations by Meg Thacher. If you've ever contemplated the night sky and wondered about what you are seeing, this is the book for you! Slightly oversized and attractively designed, young readers will find it appealing and inviting. It's well-organized and the text is conversational, chunked and accessible. There's science, there's folklore from diverse cultures and an amusing little guy named Star Dude who pops in from time to time to define things and add clarity.
This first-purchase will be a brilliant addition to any library collection. It will be useful for young astronomy researchers and a browsable bonanza for tween fact hounds. I put it in my book order and can't wait to share this when I get back to school in September!
