Customer Reviews

Great Introductory Book!

My five year old has developed an interest in the solar system, so I bought this book for him -- sight unseen -- for Christmas. He absolutely loves it, and I've bought several more in the Let's Read and Find Out series. This is a slim little volume with some basic facts about the planets. It is simply told and has nice illustrations. It is probably geared to a slightly older child than my son, but he loves it nonetheless. This is a perfect little book to introduce a kid to the solar system.
