BR 2-04: Diary of a Skywatcher

Do you like star gazing? I like it very much and often look up at the stars. We can see various constellations. I don’t know about constellation well, but I can find only Orion and Cassiopeia because it is easy to find. This book is a boy’s diary. The boy doesn’t know about the sky well. So the ideas are interesting.

The boy said that the moon doesn’t look anything like cheese. Also, the boy thought that the grey bits are water. I hadn’t thought such a thing before. The idea is interesting and I think the moon is mysterious, especially full moon. I can see the grey bits are rabbit. Sometimes, I can see various animals, so it is interesting.

He went camping and lay watching the sky. He felt like the stars were really close. He thought that it gets harder to tell the distances involved and I can understand it. I haven’t lain watching the sky, but I can see the sky more clearly at my grandmother’s house because there is little light. I want to lie watching on the mountain. Maybe I can see a shooting star. I haven't seen a shooting star, so I want to see it someday.

This book says a lot of things about sky. I think the sky has a lot of mysterious things, so it is interesting. When I look up at the sky, I feel like my heart become bigger. This book has the boy’s interesting ideas. So, please read it!
