That is not true. In a 4" telescope with decent magnification 100-150x you should clearly see all four of the Galilean moons as well as two bands across Jupiter. Now the problem with Jupiter is that it's in Superior Conjunction with the Sun (i.e. you can't see it). However you can see Saturn and Mars in the evening sky. Mars you won't see much, but Saturn will be the thing the kids remember more than anything else. Visit www.skymaps.org for a good, free star chart to use with the kids. Depending on when you observe there are many great, bright objects in the sky. Here are a couple you can google: M42, M45, M31, Double Cluster, M13, Castor. This list is very easy to find even in fairly light polluted skies with little difficulty. Hint: Try to find these on a night by yourself before you show the kids. It will be less stressful and make your life easier. For more help visit cloudynights.com. It's a great amateur astronomy forum to learn about the night sky and ask questions. Good luck and have fun.
