This book is an informational book that contains interesting facts about the starry sky. It contains facts and pictures about the earth, sun, moon, stars and our planets in our solar system. It informs the reader about the differences of each of the nine planets and what makes each of them unique. The book also contains valuable information about comets and shooting stars.

I enjoyed this book and when I read it I began to recall my 5th grade science class. This book has great pictures on each page. I really appreciate the author’s decision to go all black for the background and have white lettering. This makes the reader get the sense that we are discussing space and its mysterious holdings. This book gave me some more valuable information that I had forgotten about when I first began learning about the planets when I was in middle school.

I think I would go over some of the book with the classroom but not all of it because there is a great deal of information within this book. I would focus on the nine planets that we all can recall learning about in middle school. It would be a neat idea to give a class a project to draw or create a solar system or one planet. This would help to remember the planets order and important information but at the same time be fun.
