Comment An Excellent book for younger astronomers (Score 1) 26
I can certainly recommend a most excellent book about astronomy written for young people. It is called The Stars by H. A. Rey, the author of the Curious George books. The book explains the constellations better than any book I've seen. It has nice introductory chapters explaining the orbits of the moon and planets.
I used this book as a child and really got alot out of it.
Oh, you also might want to look for a local star party, before buying a scope. You may have a local Astronomy club or a planetarium nearby that hosts a monthly star party for the public. This would give you a chance to look through some scopes before purchasing.
