Product Description

Product Description

You live on Earth, so you already know a lot about it. But do you know about its place in out solar system? For instance, it's not the largest planet. If Jupiter were a hallow ball, 1,000 Earths would fit inside it. And did you know our planet Earth takes 365 days to go around the sun, while the planet Pluto takes 248 years?

This simple text by Franklyn M. Branely introduces the nine planets in our solar system and is complemented by Kevin O'Malley's full-color illustrations, which incorporate some of the newest space photographs available.

A great book 14 Jan 2010

THe book is very well written with lots of facts and interesting notes about all of the planets, with a couple of exercises and tasks for the kids to get involved in.

Not quite right.... 11 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
The book is OK for the basic facts but is let down by some minor irritations. It's a bit too American and it's also out of date. The temperatures described on the planets are shown in Fahrenheit (without providing degrees Celsius) and the book doesn't cover the Pluto "is it a planet?" controversy - e.g. are there 9 planets or 8 planets? I think that would have been a useful inclusion. But apart from those things my daughter (aged 4.75) likes the pictures.

Excellent! 5 Nov 1999
By Terri L. Sawyer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I home school our daughter and got this book from the library. I plan to purchase this book for our home school library because of the wealth of information it contains. It makes learning about the solar system an adventure. I really like the fact that the author included a section of craft ideas to reinforce what the child read in the book. He also included web sites so that you can really see the planets. I think every teacher should have this book!

Excellent Introduction to the Solar System... 27 Sep 2003
By Cheryl_in_CA - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book for my five year old son, who loves anything that has to do do with outerspace and the planets. This is a terrific book for a young child, the information is direct and to the point and easy to understand. I think children in the older recommended age range would be somewhat dissappointed, it is not really meant for in depth understanding.

I agree with one of the editorial reviews that lauded the thematic organization over examining each piece as an isolated item-- it allows the child to understand the relation between each part of the solar system... overall, a very good introductory book.

Lightspeed fun! 23 Aug 2000
By Matt Thornton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The Planets in Our Solar System is a fun way to teach children about the solar system. Kids will enjoy the many fun facts in the book. With great illustrations and a section in the back of the book on crafts and reference to other space related material. This book is a wonderful book on astronomy. Also check out the book "Arty the Part-Time Astronaut" which includes a CD and website with a ton of learning activities and games. These two books made a great way to introduce the solar system to any child.
