In this shaped board book, young readers blast off to visit the eight major planets of our solar system. A lift-the-flap planet illustrates each page and lifting it reveals a simple fact [written in rhyme] about the planet. The rhyming text is simple enough for young children to understand and enjoy while the flaps encourage the child to be actively involved with the book.

This book was very cute and looks like an appealing introduction to the solar system for budding astronomers (or any curious small child). However, the ending, which stopped at Neptune, broke my heart a bit. (I still love you, Pluto!)
Cute little lift the flap book includes simple facts about the planets. But it made me miss Pluto.
With simple rhyming text, we visit the eight planets that revolve around our sun, one at a time. Each planet is revealed by opening a large flap, which provides fun interaction (although easy to tear, too). A single line of rhyming text provides an accurate and easy bite of information about what makes each planet unique.

Author takes young children on an imaginary trip through the solar system. This board board is interactive , there are flaps over each planet and 1-2 sentence rhymes for each of the 8 planets that are visited. I loved the little rhymes such as, "Earth is the planet that we call home- where children play and animals roam." - Cute! I like the ending as well. The few books of the author that I have read all have a sense of warmth, caring and community or togetherness. I think young children will lo

The concepts are definitely beyond the reach of the intended audience but the lift-the-flap elements can be used for PEEK-A-BOO! followed by name of the planet featured on the page. Colors and shapes can also be named.

a young astronaut takes the reader on a journey exploring the planets in a lift-the-flap book. Rhyming text makes the descriptions of each planet memorable (“What makes Saturn look so nice? Its many moons and rings of ice.”) and may lead to this book being read again and again.

This is a colorful board book about the planets.

Fun! Read this one today to kindergartners for outreach and they enjoyed all the flip up pages and the facts about each planet.
Nice and factually and visually accurate, whick haven't seen from all the STEM books for young children. I wish the flaps were a little more sturdy.

Read this one to my son tonight. He immediately looked up with some consternation and asked "but mommy, where's Pluto?" It's a little tricky to explain to a 3 year old the controversy over Pluto's designation. Several of his popular cartoon shows feature all the planets, including Pluto so the lack of inclusion here was glaring for my son.
Must admit though it's nice to see some of the updated simple space facts. ...more

My toddler, my preschooler, and I all love this book. Fun to re-read, fun to look at, fun to talk about when it's over. Offers easy-to-understand facts and an engaging lift-the-flap format. Wonderful.

Want to start your kiddo off on the planets in a simple, minimalist but still informative and fun way? This is the book! I’ve already read it 5 times today because he really enjoys the illustrations and the flaps!
This is fun for young children. They really enjoy lifting the flaps of the planets. I got this for my son when he was two years old, and it inspired him to become interested in space. As for the text, there's not much too it.

A fun little book that will certainly delight.
Cute lift the flap book for little ones who enjoy hearing and learning about space.
I wish they had actual photos of the planets in board books instead of cartoons. Cute and simple explanations of each planet.
