BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
The planets want to throw Sun a birthday party to thank her for keeping them close, warm, and part of her solar system. In this personified tale. the eight planets have a chance to explain what makes each of them special, as well as offer details about other aspects of our solar system.
A superb book for introducing or reinforcing basic facts about the solar system, information is presented in a fun balance between dialogue and narration. The illustrations are in vibrant colors against a deep blue background, making the book visually appealing, as well as informative. This is probably best as a read-aloud, as there is some challenging vocabulary for young readers.
