Reviews

[Chelsea Bucci · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cutest book about Buster travelling through the solar system and passing by each planet. It teaches readers the order of the planets from Earth outwards. It also still recognizes Pluto as a planet. Reading level for 3rd to 4th grade.

Grade: 3-5
Topic:4th- Solar system

This book takes the reader on a flight through our solar system, offering facts and great illustrations along the way. This little bug is quite smart for being so small. This is a great introduction book for the planets and their order in space.

[Kathryn Joyce · Rating 5 out of 5]

A cute book that shows the distance of the planets, order and traits. Would be excellent in an Engage or Explore activity. Grades 3-4.
