(Science Informational Book) I also think this book is a great one to keep in the Elementary Classroom. It has a lot of information, but there is a very helpful glossary and index. This book could be a great book for students to simply read if their curious or also used to teach how to navigate informational books with the index and glossary. I also think the book uses pictures and tables very effectively. Overall, great book, probably for third through fifth grade to practice using and reading informational text. Also, a very interesting topic, could be used for a science unit/research on the solar system.
