Gr 2-4-An engaging planet set that offers up more than just the standard facts. Each title has three chapters. Chapter one covers why the planet looks like it does, chapter two is about how we know what we do, and chapter three varies in subject to cover specific information about that planet. A strength of this series is that The Moon takes the place of Earth in the set, keeping the structure consistent and focused on space rather than our own planet. The back matter is another highlight, with the "Stay Curious! Learn More" section doubling as an information literacy lesson by asking questions, giving hints for keyword searches, and recommending resources with reasons those sources are trustworthy. VERDICT An exceptional series on our solar system's planets. Highly recommended for libraries, schools, and homeschooling collections.-Kacy Helwick
