Good evening, children . . . it’s time to explore the solar system.

First, the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Then the Sun, our nearest star. Then the planets of the solar system, all orbiting the sun.

Then it’s off to Mercury, Venus, Earth. Then Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Did you know there are one hundred eighty-one moons in our solar system?

Good night, Moon. Good night, solar system. Good night, children of Earth.

=========

Good Night Books celebrate special places and themes for very young readers; the target audience for these books is children up to the age of five. Designed for sharing with the reader’s family, the books employ a simple style to tell their story. The “good morning,” “good afternoon,” “good evening,” and “good night” themes are consistent throughout the series.

This board book takes young readers on an adventure through the solar system. From the Milky Way to Good Night, the young readers learn about each of the planets in our solar system. [And, even though the early pages say there are eight planets in the solar system, the authors have included our dwarf planet, Pluto. After all, a dwarf planet is still a planet and it’s still very much a part of our solar system.]

Highly recommended. ( )
