A classic that holds up
H.A.Rey's imagination was put to good use with this book. His reimaginings of the constellations defined the way I see the stars since I was in grade school in the 70s. His constellations use the same stars, but are connected in a way that makes far more sense than classical interpretations. The book isn't only a catalog of the pictures the stars make, but also a good primer on stars and space and astronomy in general. While it was simple enough to grasp when I was 8, the content isn't dumbed-down and Rey's writing is easy and palatable. If you love the stars, if someone in your home loves the stars, whether you know little or have a degree in astrophysics, there is plenty this book can give you.H.A.Rey's imagination was put to good use with this book.

The Stars by H.A. Rey
This book is without doubt my all time favorite astronomy book. As a Physics major in college, and now a high school Physics teacher I have read and used many "higher level" astronomy books, but for the sheer fun and enjoyment of stargazing nothing beats H.A. Rey's classic. I use the methods in this book when I teach stars to Scouts and to school age children, and after every sesion, I always have someone that they were able to pick out constellations for the first. I always recommend this book to participants at my sessions, and many of the people report back that they have purchased and are enjoying it.This book is without doubt my all time favorite astronomy book.
