A spectacular reference book for children aged 7-9 that explores our Sun and the planets

This incredible guide to the solar system launches 7 to 9 year olds on a breathtaking journey into space through stunning illustrations, photographs, and fascinating information.

The perfect introduction for young readers who want to learn about our local star - the Sun - and the planets that orbit it. Starting with the birth of the Sun and the solar system, readers continue on a journey through space. They discover the smallest planet, rocky Mercury, which is closest to the Sun, and Venus, the hottest planet. There is also Mars, with its polar ice caps and volcanoes, and Jupiter, with its swirling storm clouds. Then readers venture further into space to explore the icy giants of outer space. The Solar System covers space in thrilling detail and is the perfect book for space lovers everywhere.

Packed with beautiful illustrations by artist Dawn Cooper, combined with up-to-date images from space agencies such as NASA and ESA, information panels, and diagrams, this is a fantastic introduction to space for young readers.
