My nephew is just about to turn nine years old and after going through the Dinosaur phase and the current fishing phase, I would like to turn his attention to a new phase - yes Astronomy! He lives amongst fairly dark skies, and does own a pair of binoculars - I don't know what he's got, but his father won't have a problem getting the right one for the job when the time comes. I would however, like to introduce him first to some starter Astronomy books before that.
So basically, I'm looking for a colourful book, in simple language that will teach a nine year old a few things about our universe and will encourage him to look to the night sky too explore further.
Many thanks for taking the time to help me.
