This is a great book by Robin Kennod; she put a lot of detail and facts In This book. In this book she talks about some of the consolations in the sky. She briefly talks about "why" they are there. She also talked about some of the plants in are solar system.
This book is about many different star groupings called constalitions that we see in our night sky through out the year. She talked about constalitions that the sun goes through at different times and what people thought that that meant. She also went over key plants in are solar system, including earth mars and Jupiter.
Many people would like this book but people that are interested in mythology and/or astonimy would like this book. They would like this book because it covers important facts about the stars and the myths behind them. It also talks about why the gods would put theses stars in the sky.

pretty elementary; interesting insights into the Greek myths connected with constellations; ridiculous assumptions about the “coincidences” that exist in the way the heavens work

This book is a good entry-level explanation for constellations and the planets. It give a brief description of each of the 88 constellations, the story behind the characters/animals and a quick snapshot of the supposed personalities of the zodiac as well. It has information about where in the sky to look and at what time of day, as well as the colors from the major stars.

A good introduction to the constellations (it does not include all 88). Pluto fans can rejoice in a book that was written before its demotion. And although it makes it clear that astrology is a pseudoscience it will still tell you what traits you’re supposed to have as a Taurus, even though due to precession all the zodiac constellations are about a months off their ancient date ranges.
