SUMMARY: I really enjoyed this book because it is informational (the copy I read has nine planets, but there is a newer revised edition that takes out Pluto). This book is a great book because it is set up and written much like a Dr. Seuss book, and rhymes fantastically. This book gives a little bit of information for each planet, as well as the sun and the moon. I like that it is simple, and to the point, great for young readers, all the way up to I would say third grade (after that they may think it is a book for 'little kids'). I would use this book in a classroom that I was teaching about space as an introduction to the space unit, and it would also be a collaborative lesson because it would be reading as well.
