This book would be a great addition to any budding astronomer or space enthusiast. I'm a big fan of children's books on complex concepts and this one doesn't disappoint.

I read this book with my niece who is in the 4th grade. We both loved it. I thought it went into just the right amount of detail and introduced so many new terms! It almost felt like an informal textbook layout but definitely held us captive with fun learning. I’m not sure the goal age for this book but sentence structure seemed about 4th grade but science always bumps it up. I think it’s one of those books that you could start a little young and revisit with growth. This science professor is happy!

"The Solar System for Kids" is a great non-fiction children's book about the wonders of space. This excellent resource covers different types of galaxies and the planets, moons and stars that make up our solar system. The book is aimed for older children and would make an excellent reference guide for projects and class assignments or for a kid with a large interest in space.

I really enjoyed that each of the planets from our solar system had their own facts sheet that prefaced the information about them. These facts at a glance included the planet's diameter, length of a day, distance from earth and more. These made this guide really fabulous because readers can pick it up for a quick fact or decide to sit down and really dig into the specifics for each topic.

Even as an adult, I didn't know most of this information! As a result of this, I think this book would be a great addition to any classroom or home library for those people interested in exploring the final frontier.
