Readers may be disappointed with the quality and selection of sky images; they are not the arresting pictures that many may be familiar with. However, they are practical in supporting the books effort to aid in sky gazing. The information about what time and where in the sky to look for a constellation is helpful and clearly accessible. The text about each constellation can be a bit patronizing in tone at times. However, the astronomical information is presented in a clear, easy and interesting manner. The additional mythology behind the names of the constellation is also welcome. A glossary at the end would have been helpful.
