Eight Spinning Planets Hardcover – September 1, 2010

The textures and colors of this book keep my son engaged and yet the educational components of this book keep me hooked. My son is 1.5 years old and it's perfect. He has room to grow with this book and it sets a great foundation to compare this information with facts found elsewhere.

Very nice book. The planets stick out a bit which is fun for my son and it has a small description of the planet. My son loves this book and knows all his planets!

My son is 2 years old and thanks to a book we checked out at the local library, recently obsessed with planets. I came to Amazon to purchase that book, but found this one and it was a hit. Simple language, durable pages, and texture for little fingers to explore all make it a hit.

I was searching for an age appropriate planet book for my three year old grandson. I found this on Amazon and because of the reviews I purchased it. My grandson has been talking about the planets at his daycare school and couldn't wait to take this book to school to share with his classmates. It is an excellent book for anyone looking for a first book on planets for a 3-5 year old.

Had to teach at a preschool as part of a college class. This book had the children's attention. One of the only planets book beautiful and simple enough for preschool. When the children got released to centers they all gathered around the first kid who got his hands on the book and read it again. Not including Pluto as a planet started some heated preschool debate though. It was great to hear the children talk about it.

My 4 year old loves this book and requests it all the time. It's not terribly informative, but a great primer for a child just starting to become interested in the solar system.

Definitely one of my kids favorites. He learned his planets very fast. Plus the planets are 3D so he can feel their outline as a nice interactive feature.

My twins are 2.5 and this book is great for this age group. Not only do they get to learn the names of each planet, but they get to practice reading numbers. The verbiage is short and sweet - with a simple fact about each planet.My daughter likes to stick her hands and fingers through the holes and my son now calls his pinky "Mercury" because he knows it's the smallest one! :)
