Our Solar System!: A Stellar Neighborhood

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stevie Lewis. A genial cowboy-like comet gives readers a tour of our cosmic neighborhood, with entertaining descriptions of planets and celestial objects and their notable features: Mercury is a “speedy little varmint”; Saturn “has more moons than you can shake a stick at.” Colored-pencil and digital illustrations show the planets’ friendly expressions and interjections (“Call me Giant Jupiter”) while incorporating actual planet characteristics (Uranus rotating on its side). An engaging and informative introduction to our solar system.
