Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Did you know that on the asteroid Ceres you could jump six miles high? That on Pluto it gets so cold that the atmosphere freezes and falls to the ground as snow? Or that there is a volcano on Mars that is almost three times as tall as Mount Everest? Join astronomer Alvin Jenkins and illustrator Steve Jenkins as they take you on an incredible tour of our solar system. Filled with amazing facts about planets, moons, asteroids and everything in between — and some of what lies beyond — this book will take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

Review:

"Here is a book that will spark interest and keep kids poring over its stunning pages." Children's Literature

Review:

"A white font and brilliantly colored collages set on a black background make this a dramatic presentation also. A terrific experience indeed." Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:
