More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
First Pluto left. Then it came back, along with Ceres and Erisand now Haumea and MakeMake, too! The recent actions of the International Astronomical Union have put every solar system book out of date. In response, National Geographic joins forces with David Aguilar of the Harvard Smithsonian Astronomical Observatory to revise our 2008 book - and to update young readers on the high-interest topic of space. Using simple text and spectacular photorealistic computer art by the author, this book profiles all 13 planets in their newly created categories - plus the sun, the Oort Cloud, comets, and other worlds being discovered. Back-of-the-book activities offer hands-on fun for budding astronomers.

Awesome!

Format:Hardcover
My eight-year old loves this book. He is in second grade and just beginning to study the solar system. He's gobbling up the facts in this book about the eight classic planets and the five dwarf planets. It's just as interesting for mom, too. What I really like is the inclusion of the name origin for each planet. My son is getting science and mythology lessons with this book. We are both awed by the photorealistic computer art. This is definitely a must have for the classroom or home library as it has the most up-to-date information on our solar system. - Biblio Reads Children's Book Review

My son is VERY interested in the solar system. His biggest complaint is that many of the books about this topic are out of date. He was THRILLED to see a current book that talks about all of the dwarf planets too. This is a great book!

Nice book for kids and adults.

Format:Hardcover
We bought this book for our 4 year old after he showed an interest in planets. It's a good first book for space. His attention span is still a little tightly wound, but we can see that it will definitely be a book he will enjoy in the coming year! It's full of great pictures, background stories on the planets and interesting facts & figures that updated our dated knowledge of the solar system. Waiting for the opportunity to use what we've learned in conversation :D
