Have to agree with "Out of Date"
My son really enjoys this book, but I've had to make up new rhymes for the Pluto page and say "eight" planets instead of nine. Maybe if enough of us contact them. the publishers will put out a new edition. www.randomhouse.com/kids

Great fun book about space for little and big ones.
This is a really cute book about space. Fun and educational. My boys 5 & 6 love it as much as I do.

Out of Date
This is a great book but it's out of date. Pluto is no longer a planet. I would just skip that page but it's hard because there is also a mnemonic device that includes Pluto in it. They need to update this book with a second edition. Otherwise, it's a great book.

Inexplicably fun
My son sees this book at his doctor's office and begged for his own copy. He's usually a truck guy, so I don't understand his attraction to this book, but he definitely strongly likes it. And, heck, there's no harm in him learning the names of planets and a bit about space! Great book.

It Could Be Better
The concept of this learning book is fine and it is a good book to introduce young children to space. I read it to my 4 1/2-year-old granddaughter and she enjoyed it. However, about half of the poems could have been much better. They lacked proper poetic cadence. A few seemed very ordinary. The publisher surely should have asked the writer to improve them. The statement that the spinning Earth will never slow down is technically incorrect. That's a fine point, but it would have been easy to present the idea correctly.

Love it!
Love this book!! It gives nonfiction science content in a Dr. Seuss format. Keeps the kids' interest while they learn science - excellent!

There's No Place Like Space
There's So Place Like Space is a great book for toddlers who are interested in space. Not too complicated but good for learning a few interesting facts about our planets. Written with the rhyme of Dr. Seuss.

Excellent introductory book to Planets
I had not realized the effectiveness of this book until my 4 year old started making up songs about the planets, their colors, and their place in space. As I listened to his little songs he sang as he was playing, I realized his information, or lyrics, came from what he learned in this book. Entertaining, fun, educational. You can't go wrong with this rhyming introduction and imaginary travel through space.

Science made easy and enjoyable
My 2 1/2 year old daughter and 3 year old niece love this book. It gives enough information about the planets and solar system to be educational, but the author also uses classic Seuss elements of rhyming and silliness to keep the kids sustained in attention and entertained. I highly recommend this to any young solar system fans!!

SUPER book for a preschool class
I had to go to the bookstore last night to purchase a new book to read to the preschool class I teach. I can say without a doubt this was enjoyed by ALL the children. SO easy to read and accurate too :) They all enjoyed it and I am VERY happy to add this to my book collection!!
