ABC's of Astronomy

For anyone longing for the days when major publishers put out well-illustrated "The Story Of..." and "Big Book Of..." educational books for children, "The ABCs of Astronomy" from Doubleday & Company will bring back memories, or at least seem familiar. This version is the library-bound type found in countless children's sections and school libraries across America, so it's a durable match for most children learning to or capable of reading. Numerous illustrations will even keep younger ages interested if an adult reads it to them... though it will doubtless work wonders at bedtime as the adult drones on about celestial latitude, pedigree and apogee, and inclination of orbits. An educational treasure for any child's library.
