Thumbs up for Sklansky
16 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover
Loved the factual, informative side of the book combined with the poetry. Can't wait for the reaction from the children! Also thought it was well illustrated.

Wonderful addition to solar system unit
22 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover
As a teacher this book is an extraordinary companion to our solar system unit. The teaming of poetry with relevant facts has lent itself to a rich interdisciplinary unit. Highly recommended!

Fun and Factual

Review by my 14 year old son:
I thought this book was extremely informative about some of the facts about space. Each fact had an accompanying poem which was really neat. My favorite poem was "Weightless Wonder" about zero gravity in space. I am 14 years old and even though this book is meant for kids, I enjoyed reading it. The illustrations were cool, especially the space suit one. I plan to read this book to my younger brother and I'm sure he will like it, too. -Duncan N. Allen
