This is a cute little astronomy guide that gives you the basics on what to look for in the night time sky. What I like about it is is that along the way, as you are reading details about the objects in the night time sky, they give you exercises for you to try and see if you can spot said objects. They have it on a points systems sort of like a game and you have to see how many points you can score. Point is, it gets the reader to be interactive with the activities. (
