Planet Books

Our family recently purchased a set of books from a book order my daughter brought home. I was drawn to the set because they were all about the planets and my daughter had started getting in to the stars. I figured this would be the next step. I was surprised, however, to see just how much information was in the books.

These books would be below older kids, although for a quick refresher they might like to read them to younger kids. But it's really geared towards the younger side of the elementary ages. There are 11 books, each book talks only about one planet (the 10th one is the Sun... which is technically a star). 23 pages of information and 1 page of glossary terms each.

The set is called "Space Launch!" Put out by Gareth Stevens Publishing, A Weekly Reader Company. Below are the titles:

Series: Space Launch

Let's Explore Mercury
Let's Explore the Moon
