My third grade son could easily read this book about Jupiter, and he did so because he enjoyed it.

Jupiter is about the planet and solar system. It also talks about the sun and Earth. Twelve years on Earth is as long as one Jupiter year. Jupiter is one of the hottest planets and no one can stand on the planet or visit it. It is the biggest planets on Earth as well as all of the planets put together. I like this book and it is educational for older children. It is good for solar system projects in class.
