What We See in the Stars: An Illustrated Tour of the Night Sky

What We See in the Stars

An Illustrated Tour of the Night Sky

2017 • 162 pages

My word, this book is, first and foremost, STUNNING. The artwork is by far the loveliest I have ever seen in a nonfiction title. Even if you aren't interested in the stars and learning about constellations, I cannot recommend this book enough as a “coffee table” book - one of those that you pick up just to leave sitting out like interactive artwork, because your guests will pick it up, and “oooh” and “ahhh” and positively rave about it.

On to the actual content of the book, if you're at all interested in learning about the stars and space, this would be a great, easy introduction to the topic. Not only are there illustrations of each constellation, but there are also tidbits of history, as well as tips on how to find the brightest star in each one and locate that specific constellation. I learned so much and it made me really eager for the next clear night sky, so that I can go somewhere plenty dark and try to find some of the new stars I learned about!

Thank you so much to Blogging For Books for providing me with this incredible finished copy in exchange for my honest review!
