Earthdance

(4) K-3 Terra's astronaut mother races back from floating around space all day so she can provide a photograph of the Earth for her daughter's school play about the planets. The illustrations, some superimposed on outer space photos, are cheery and simple; the play is a lovely mix of poetry and science; but a grievous mislabeling of planets (which an errata sheet says will be corrected in future printings) diminishes the book's instructional value.
