Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
This is the first book in the Playful Planets series. It teaches children the names of the planets and some of the myths and legends associated with them in a simple, colourful, and fun way.
The planets introduce themselves, and watch a rocket ship from Earth fly through space. They wonder where the rocket will end up, and express some of their fears about the human space program. The original artwork
really brings their personalities to life.
The planets play a big part in our lives, whether we realise it or not. In many cultures, the days of the week and months of the year are named after them. Saturday is named after the planet Saturn, for example,
and the month of March after the planet Mars.
Their role in so much mythology is not in doubt. Mars is known as the God of War, Venus the Goddess of Love, and Saturn as Old Father Time, and so on.
Learning can be fun.
