'The Stars is the best book available for its purpose. It is also a brilliant example of the combined use of art and writing in bringing science to the layman.' -- Review 'The Stars is the best book available for its purpose. It is also a brilliant example of the combined use of art and writing in bringing science to the layman.' (Saturday Review ) This is a clear, vivid text with charts and maps showing the positions of the constellations the year round. Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals. After serving in the army during World War I, he studied philology and natural science at the University of Hamburg. He then married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941. Curious George has been published in many languages, including French, German, Japanese, Afrikaans, and Norwegian. Additional Curious George books followed, as well as such other favorites as CECILY G. AND THE NINE MONKEYS and FIND THE CONSTELLATIONS.

The diagrams are simple and the text explanations are memorable and enjoyable. You can use the book as a guide for looking up constellations that you notice at night - the diagrams are clear and well-organized. You can also just sit down and read the explanations for a clearer understanding of constellations, planetary motion, the seasons, latitude, etc. I smile each time ... Read More Rating - The Stars; A New Way to See Them This is a great book for beginning star gazers. It is easy to read and does not overwhelm me with scientific information...just helps me find the stars and constellations and learn their names. Rating - Truly useful I got this book to use with a sixth-grade class. My subject is mythology, and I hope to use some of the constellation drawings as a starting point for an art project for them. I have no real interest in astronomy, but this book is getting me more interested. The drawings do help you remember which stars are in which constellation, and the mythological snippets are good. The tone is warm without being condescending to kids. This book was a real find. see more reviews See all books by author H. A. Rey
