Telescope Hunters! What to Look for in Your Telescope for Kids - Children's Astrophysics & Space Science Books

Nice book for little kids to use their first telescope.

I was mislead by the title..I took this to mean it was an "activity" sort of book, where the kids get to find things through their telescope, but was wrong..it's all about the telescope itself. Just posting to help anyone else before you get disappointed on what you spend your money on.

I bought this book because it was listed as frequently purchased with a beginner telescope. I wanted something that might list some of the things kids can begin to hunt for when they first set up their telescope. However, the one star required to give in the review is the only star you might see when reading this book. It is a poorly written book that I would compare to a wikihow article on whether you should buy a telescope or not. The name is misleading as it doesn't actually offer any ideas of what to look for THROUGH your telescope, but only some basic vocabulary you might hear when you are purchasing your telescope such as "aperture." I think professor gusto might actually be a bot as the grammar is very poor. I don't want to spoil this for anyone, but the last page of the book literally reads, "Should you be asking mommy for a telescope?" Do not buy this book for your small children when you purchase a telescope or you will be disappointed.

This book is not at all what I expected . I thought it would be a children's book which my son could read to identify stars, planets etc when looking through his telescope.Instead it is a weird guide to what you should consider before buying a telescope - what aperture you need etcWaste of money and I will be sending it back

Utterly useless. I wish I had paid more attention to the other reviews which would have warned me. Despite the cover, title and description suggesting this book will help your child find objects in the night sky through their telescope, it does nothing of the sort.Instead it attempts to assist you as a parent select a telescope for your child. And even in that regard it is not much good. Have found a multitude of online sources offering far better information.--- update ---Amazon have accepted my complaint without question and given me a full refund. Kudos to amazon for their customer service as always.

Did not contain any information about stars only how a telescope works. Not what I wanted so have had to arrange a return and purchased a book about sun, moon and stars which is more along the lines of what I wanted.

not what we expected, the front cover illustrations give the impression of a book for kids to discover whats out there using a telescope, but its not.Obviously our fault for nor reading the text carefully enough.Just think its a bit ambiguous

not very informative
