My 7yo boy is interested in astronomy, so I ordered the
"My Favorite Universe" course by Neil deGrasse Tyson from The Great Courses. The suggested readings for the course are below. I think they are written for the general reader, and they have good reviews on Amazon. Other book suggestions are welcome.
