Silly Scientists Take a Peeky at the Solar System!

by Lindsey Craig

SILLY SCIENTISTS TAKE A PEEKY AT THE SOLAR SYSTEM is FUN! This book (and soon to follow, music and app) will get kids learning and loving science with wildly-catchy rhymes about the origins of our solar system and all those bizarre planets whizzing around us. 
"Planet Mercury is the fastest, watch it zoom around the sun. With frigid nights and days hot-HOT, it scorches little buns!  "Kids will zoom into space with their soon-to-be favorite monsters checking out Jupiter's "zit" (the planet's famous red spot), then take a dizzying ride on the sideways spinning Uranus. In this first Silly Scientists Series, kids will be introduced to the crazy Sulu, the surfer dude, and feisty, Tia, who speaks in Spanish, and the fuzzy green, Alan, who is always worried about something. SILLY SCIENTISTS TAKE A PEEKY AT THE SOLAR SYSTEM makes science fun for everyone!

A fun and bright introduction to the solar system. Kids will find this book to be educational, interesting and engaging. It is a well written easy to understand book about a complex topic. I know that many teachers would appreciate this book as an introduction to space and planets. I think the kiddo in my class will enjoy it with my space lesson plan.
