Constellations for Kids: The Fun Way to Learn About the Stars, Discover the Magic of the Solar System, and Stargaze like an Astronomer! (Children's books ... zodiac signs, constellations, & more!) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 36 ratings

Are you ready to impress your friends & family with amazing knowledge & exciting tales of the constellations?! If so, keep reading…


Have you ever looked up at the night sky & imagined what might be out there? You’re not alone! People have been wondering that for thousands of years.

Technology like telescopes & space shuttles are quite new, so before we could really investigate space, people would make up stories about what they thought was up there. Some people saw heroes & monsters made out of stars & would tell stories about them.


This book is going to tell you all about the wonderful things floating around above your head & teach you how to find some of the planets & special stars from your bedroom window. (It’s exploding with fun pictures to help you visualize them, too.)

It’s also packed with legendary tales about the constellations, like how the constellation of Hercules shows him wrestling the monster Hydra or how Pegasus–a magical flying horse with wings–was the only animal that could carry Zeus’s lightning bolts without getting hurt!

Discovering constellations doesn’t have to be difficult, even if you don’t own a telescope. You can even find them by using your hands!

Try this HANDY (pun fully intended) tip to help you find the stars:

  1. Straighten your arm out in front of you & make your hand into a fist. The distance from your first knuckle (don’t count the thumb) to your fourth knuckle is 10 degrees.
  2. Now spread out only your thumb & pinkie finger. The distance from tip to tip is 25 degrees. (If you hold up just your pinkie finger by itself, the width of it is 1 degree.)

This will help you navigate the night sky to find the constellations in this book!

Did You Know:

  • There are some stars you can see from Canada that will never be seen from Australia!
  • Or that Jupiter, the largest planet, has 80 moons!
  • Or that one day on Venus lasts as long as 6,000 hours! (That means 1 day of school would last over 8 months!)

You’ll discover:

  • Why the ancient Romans are responsible for our galaxy being named after a chocolate bar!
  • Why your parents might be receiving messages from space when traveling!
  • The incredible trick to see how far apart objects in space are just by using your own hand!
  • The amazing star that the dinosaurs would have been able to see millions of years ago
  • Why sticking a pencil through an orange can help you visualize how the earth spins
  • Incredible tales behind the constellations that your friends at school won’t believe!
  • How to master the constellations for any season!
  • The planet that’s not home to aliens—but robots!
  • What the Ancient Egyptians designed their pyramids to point to
  • Why you should get your camera ready for the year 2061
  • Why the moon’s gravity could be a surfer’s best friend!
  • The best time to see incredible events in the sky!
  • How to see a meteor shower every minute
  • Which fruit to shine a flashlight on to help you visualize moon phases
  • An in-depth glossary so you can quickly understand the cool words inside

& much more!

From the giant Virgo to the much smaller Corona Borealis, you will discover all the tips & tricks to finding the constellations, as well as some amazing facts that will make you sound like a professional astronomer. There are so many things in space to explore that not even scientists know exactly what is out there. Who knows what they (or you!) will discover in the future?

The brilliant facts your kids will rush to tell you is priceless!!
I saw a comment about there not being loads of pictures but this book is exactly what it’s set out to do, make learning about space and the constellations actually fun. When I was young my favorite books didn’t even have pictures (like goosebumps). There’s nothing more rad than your kid running up to tell you the things they learned that you as an adult were even blown away by.. like how one day on Venus lasts 243 days on earth! It’s hard to get the kids excited or interested in anything other than electronics, so this was an absolute parent win!!

I read this before giving away as a gift and I’ve gotta say this book is a great read for kids! I love the way it uses vernacular that is easy for kids! The best part is that the constellations are broken down by season and almost create a wonderful scavenger hunt for all the different times of year! Very informative and I’m sure my nieces and nephews are going to love their gift!

The book teaches a very useful method for finding constellations. Unfortunately, there are no introductory or reinforcing illustrations to demonstrate the method. I hope the author develops a workbook for this method and offers it to readers who buy the book.

Asterism -- a word new to many -- actually originated in the 1590's. Renewed interest came with the young heavy metal band of the same name (I could listen to the last 5 minutes of DAWN for hours).

As the author recommends, install Stellarium on your phone.
Practice using the app with your youngster, and then consider this colorful book.

This is a good find for kids(9 and up). It's a well put-together reference book and would be great for star-gazing while camping or away from light pollution.

The illustrations are adorable and add to the facts and stories about the constellations. I'm even in my 30s and I learned new things with this book.

This book is jam packed with information, I learned so many new things and remembered things from my astronomy class that I had long forgotten! The content and illustrations are so fun and interactive- I’ll for sure be buying this book for all my friend’s kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value introduction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2023
My granddaughters showed an interest in the night stars on one of the few times that we could see them here in England and brought this book to help explain things.

The most helpful tip is that it tells you when each star will be viewable so that you aren’t wasting time looking for it “Out of season”.

The best thing was the suggestion to use your hands and knuckles as a rough guide to directions which I’d never heard of doing before. It enabled us to all work on finding the stars together and had great fun whilst doing so.

The 8 year old had a little struggle with pronouncing some of the Greek names but that helped her reading and the 12 year old was so impressed, she has asked for a telescope for her birthday! All in all a great value book that with the knuckle trick, adds fun to learning.
