    • The best introductory book about planets!!!
My 2 year old recently got interested in planets so I bought this book. She LOVES it and we read it every night. I started out by summarizing what's on each page, like giving her one detail per planet, and worked up to actually reading what's there. It's not too much text, I just knew that would work well for her. I recently bought 3 other books on planets geared toward very little ones, and this one is still by far the best. This has excellent, up-to-date pictures, just the right level of detail, and is organized great, with a view of orbits and the whole solar system (not to scale) at the beginning. ... show more

    • Good starter
Bought this for my kid along with a more advanced space book. This was pretty simple and easy to understand. Kind of what you would expect.

    • Great book!
My 5 year old loves this book! We have to read it constantly and he tells me little facts he has remembered or learned in school. The pictures are great as well!

    • wonderful book by a knowledgeable author!
This is a fabulous 68-page book for children 3-5 years old by Bruce Betts, Ph.D., a planetary scientist who is also a children's book author. Dr. Betts is the chief scientist and LightSoil program manager for The Planetary Society, a renown, international society for space-exploration enthusiasts. Having purchased and read this work, I will definitely look for other titles on the planetary sciences by Betts. Though intended for kids 3-5 years old, in my opinion this book would also be suitable for children up to 7 years old. The book is available in Kindle, hardcover ($11.66), paperback ($6.74), and spiral-bound ($9.48) editions, but I strongly recommend purchasing the hardbound book which is the most durable for repeated readings, and this is a book that is bound to be read again and again. The book presents basic planetary concepts with simple explanations in age-appropriate text accompanied by black-and-white and color images. I concur with other reviewers who mentioned that the quality of the images is somewhat wanting, but I do not feel this shortcoming is serious enough to deter purchases. Betts has sections on the terrestrial or "rocky" planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), the giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), and the dwarf planets (Pluto [which was downgraded from a planet, as explained by Betts], Eris, Haumea, and Makemake). Each planet's text includes a sidebar that answers questions on the size of the planet, how far it is from the sun, and how many moons it has. In addition, terminology such as spacecraft, the atmosphere, the sun, the solar system, the term "orbit," and asteroids and the asteroid belt are addressed. Fun facts that will delight children and hold their attention include 1) the rocky planets are closest to the sun, 2) Jupiter has at least 79 moons, 3) "If you think of the Moon as a tennis ball, then the Earth would be a little bigger than a basketball," and 4) Saturn's rings are made of dirty snowballs, some of which are as small as a snowflake and some bigger than a school bus. Betts thorough text is more than worth the price of the book, but he also includes a glossary for quick references. At the end of the book are 5 pages where children are encouraged to draw a planet. This outstanding primer both educates children and prompts their imaginations. Very highly recommended! ... show more

    • Informative & good quality
I ordered this for my five year old grandson who is fascinated with planets. I ordered one for myself also since he lives in California and I’m in Ohio and we FaceTime and look at the book and I read it to him and he’s beginning to learn words and he knows a lot of things about planets and we have fun together doing that. ... show more
