Board Book

With super-simple concepts about the sun, planets, comets, and more, each spread features the wonderful illustrations of Mattia Cerato along with rhyming text that delights while it instructs. With the sun as your guide, meet Mercury, Venus, Earth, and the rest of the planet gang, as you travel further and further to the outer reaches of the solar system. Each planet has one funny identifying feature that will help kids remember a fascinating fact about it. For instance, Earth is wearing goggles. Why? Because it has lots and lots of water! Little Genius Solar System reads like a fun story, making it the perfect introduction to our night sky.

My Review

Rating: 5 out of 5.

This book is filled with fun facts told in rhymes that were a joy to read! I, myself, learned a lot about the Solar System that I didn’t know. The illustrations are phenomenal and really bring the book to life! This will definitely be a book that all kids and parents alike will enjoy. A great way to learn and memorize cool facts. An entertaining board book that will be read over and over again!
