Helpful for lying on your back on a warm summer's night! by Julie Dunlap (Colorado)  5 Stars
July 26, 2000
We're giving this book as a gift after having enjoyed it with our own family. We're amateur "stargazers", and our young friends enjoyed having this book as reference during visits with us. It's difficult to explain certain terms regarding the evening skies. This book helps to clarify, and does so beautifully!
