This book was great! I really enjoyed learning about where we live. It was easy to follow along with the information that the book explained to us. This book brought joy to my life with the fun of learning about what goes on around us. Astronomy! I never thought I could get into a book like I did this one!

Yeah, I couldn't wait 'til I was done to give the review, and that's how excited I am about this book! I read all the reviews about this book before I purchased it. The reviewers who gave it low ratings due to the math or having to know prior scientific knowledge are correct. They are not lying. It helps to know the basics on metric conversions and knowing how to manipulate formulas.

The book was a great aid to help me remember a few of the things I learned back in school and has also taught me a lot more in addition. It's been a good tool to have around the house and reference when I want to know a quick fact or a little bit more about a certain astronomy subject.
