It was ok but a bit hands on. Not just like ok I can just read you have to use your mind and imagination a bit to often. It just needs to be a bit less complex. If I were to tell the author to do one thing to make it better it would be to make less imaginative and more unexpected facts,twists and turns. Over all an ok book.

Livro simpático que fala um pouco de tudo o que nos rodeia no Sistema Solar. Não esperem muito mais do que isso. É escrito como um diálogo entre o leitor e o narrador e ambos seguem numa viagem pelo Sistema Solar. Há outros livros que mesmo sendo para um público alvo identico (infanto-juvenil) abordam não só mais temas como vão um pouco mais a fundo. Mesmo assim é sempre bom para começar a aprender um pouco ou para reciclar conhecimentos, como perceber porque foi Plutão desclassificado de Planeta para Planeta Anão e os outros planetas que o acompanham nesse novo escalão.
Existe é 1 erro no livro. Quando fala sobre a gravidade da Terra diz que vale 1g. Se for para dizer que a gravidade na Terra equivale a 1 para depois ser mais fácil perceber que noutros planetas será, por exemplo, 2 ou 3 vezes maior, ou 0.5 vezes inferior...Se assim for compreendo, pois o valor correcto sería, aproximadamente 9.8g. Pois a massa nãoo é igual ao Peso. A massa se for 5kg será aproximadamente um Peso de quase 50N(ewtons). Pois P = m*g.
São detalhes que fazem o livro ter 3 estrelas, mas porque não posso atribuir 2.5...

The first book was gross but this book is fiction because there are no aliens in space and plus real and good space books are more science this book doesn't suite me so I prefer it for people who are creative I read fun books but this book is gross like all the others so I am sorry if you are a fan if this book but I don't like it.
