Un libro perfecto para los amantes del espacio. Chicos cómo grandes. Además de tener información que recuerdo haber aprendido de pequeña, encontré cosas que no sabía contadas de manera sencilla.

El tono narrativo es muy bello, la emoción e interés por el tema son palpables <3 las ilustraciones son claras y preciosas.

I'd give this well-illustrated nonfiction title a 3.5 and definitely include it in my science classroom library. Not only are there lift-the-tab entitled "Did You Know?" features that make it interactive, but the cover and large poster of all the planets that has been inserted in a pocket in the back of the book glow in the dark, which will add to the feeling that readers are gazing up into the heavens and into our galaxy as they read. In addition to providing information about the origins of the universe and clarifying the two types of planets, the text gives an overview of each of the eight planets, the sun, the moon (ours and other planets'), and what lies beyond Pluto. There are even two pages devoted to space exploration. The bright colors used for the images and titles on each page contrast vividly with the black background, a design decision that fits well with the subject matter and the notion of space. Originally published in France, this book provides an easy-to-understand introduction to various topics related to astronomy, physics, and chemistry. Teachers and caregivers can't miss with a book like this one, intended to spark further curiosity in old and young.

Petit ouvrage agréable à lire pour en apprendre un peu plus sur le système solaire. Accessible aux enfants grâce aux textes courts et aux belles illustrations, certaines phosphorescentes et des parties à toucher du bout des doigts.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
