I’ve learnt a new star which is in the sky. It looks like a person with a fire next to them.

Amazing book, it has a lot of information about the stars, they helped lots of people, even animals to guide them, history has a lot to do with this as well

I liked that this books talks about history, my favourite subject. I really enjoyed reading about the Egyptians the most. This term we will learn more about the Egyptians and I will probably read this book again.

I thought this book was really good and interesting. My favourite part was about the pyramids of giza as I like looking back in time and seeing how people lived and used the stars then. I loved the interesting words the author used which reminded me of a poem. I would recommend it to anybody.

This book interested me because it taught me about things I didn’t know like what an asterism is and about stars.

Nice colourful book. It says all about stars and planets etc. The book also shows how stars are named. It explains how to watch the stars in night sky.

I would recommend this book to someone if they was interested in learning about stars and the sky. It was interesting to learn about the stars and the different constellations.

I really liked this book! I must say it is for slightly younger children then me (perfect for 6-9 year olds!) and I didn’t expect it to be this short and have much more illustrations rather then text… but it’s ok as I still liked it! I read it in about 30 min but if your a bit younger (I’m 12) it may take you a bit longer. Overall the book is great! It teaches you about astronomy and how even thousands of years ago people still studied the stars and used them to navigate. It also talks a lot about different constellations and how animals use the stars to migrate and find their way basically. Sailors used the stars too even before compasses were created. And did you know that thousands of years ago there wasn’t such thing as a calendar or clock so people used the stars to know what season it is so they can plant stuff at the right time? It really is fascinating! If you read this book you’ll learn many more fascinating facts about our Night Sky. I recommend this book, it’s really good! Happy space exploration! Xx
