This
book features images of the planets in our solar system as well as information
about asteroids, comets, the reclassification of Pluto.
Of
course, like others books by this author, this one features stunning
photography that is large and center stage. But the information is dry, boring,
and presented in large blocks of text. This is not at all appealing to an
elementary student. The worst page is the one about the distances from the sun,
all the planets are just smashed onto one page without being presented in
distance order. I would prefer to add books to my collection with the text
presented in a fun and creative way, to help highlight the information
and make it more memorable. I would add this book if it was just full of images
alone (and captions).
