A classic that holds up
H.A.Rey's imagination was put to good use with this book. His reimaginings of the constellations defined the way I see the stars since I was in grade school in the 70s. His constellations use the same stars, but are connected in a way that makes far more sense than classical interpretations. The book isn't only a catalog of the pictures the stars make, but also a good primer on stars and space and astronomy in general. While it was simple enough to grasp when I was 8, the content isn't dumbed-down and Rey's writing is easy and palatable. If you love the stars, if someone in your home loves the stars, whether you know little or have a degree in astrophysics, there is plenty this book can give you.

Outrageous!
1 of 1 found this helpful Nostalgia is a thing, and it certainly is a factor, but I only watched a couple episodes back when they aired. More of a Transformers guy. Watching Jem now is delightful for entirely different reasons--the goofy 80s plots, the Misfits' zero impulse control, and Jem and her sisters are sweet and earnest. The animation is typical Sunbow crank-it-out jank most of the time, but the art direction of the characters is surprisingly varied and interesting.
The format of blending music mini-videos into the narrative is clever, and while the songs may not be particularly well-crafted, they move the story forward, and I catch myself humming them from time to time.
If you watch these on your desktop/laptop, make sure to find your player's "de-interlace" setting and turn it on, or there will be huge black scanlines mucking up the picture. Once I did that, the picture looked great on my monitor. The colors of the show play nicely with software that adjusts the levels and color temp of your screen, too.
The case for this edition of the series is more solid than I expected, and while the inside lacks bells and whistles, the DVD trays staggered and strong enough that I don't worry I'll break the little tabs that the DVDs hold onto. The DVDs are...DVDs, though it may be worth mentioning that they aren't cheap rips, and the play surfaces of mine are pristine because the case trays are slightly dished.
I don't have any other editions of the series to compare it to (why would I?), so I can't say how well it fares against them, but I like this one well enough that I'm actually considering building a DVD shelf. That's saying something.
