Review

This nonfiction early reader gives a nice overview of the planets. The text is large and is easy to read. The page layout is great for a new reader. The main text is simple but gives a few facts. There is more text about some of the planets in speech bubbles that are harder to read but you don’t have to read them to get lots of planet facts. The pages are covered with nice photos or drawings dealing with planets. There is a glossary at the back of the book with definitions of some of the terms that were used. This would be good for new readers looking to find out more about the planets or those that just like to read nonfiction.

Overall Book Score: very good
