Find the Constellations

A classic for all ages—the "wonderful" guide to the night sky by the creator of Curious George (Horn Book).

Containing star charts, a guide to the constellations, and details about seasons and the movement of the objects we see in the sky, this classic book makes H. A. Rey's passion for astronomy evident on every page.

New updates concentrate on the planetary and solar system information in the latter part of the book. Facts and figures for each planet have been revised, and new scientific information has been added, such as Pluto's reclassification as a dwarf planet. There's also a brand-new online resource that allows readers to track the positions of the planets in the night sky till the year 2100.

"An excellent introduction to the heavens, to satisfy and stimulate a child's interest…a very useful book."—Kirkus Reviews

"Persuades the reader that astronomy is not only easy—it's fun."—The New York Times

"Excellent."—Saturday Review
