Planets (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 2) Paperback – July 10, 2012

I damn near had a heart attack after paying for a four year education at a highly regarded university for my daughter and she couldn't name the first few planets in order from the sun. Yes, my heart skipped a beat... In any case, she got this book a few days later and she can now conversationally mention the planets and not look like a total idiot. SO a $100,000 education was completed with a $5 book. WORTH IT.She also got a children's book on narwhals after losing a bet on they being factual or fictional creatures. If YOU aren't sure Amazon has a book for you. Fun fact, the tusk is derivative of an upper canine tooth. Too bad they don't have two.Paul

This was a perfect book for a kid that loves the solar system! It’s super informative and made well. It’s a sturdy book that should hold up well.

Excellent choice of books for wee scholars interested in the planets. Easy to read, lovely photography. Highly recommend. We are using these books in an after-school tutoring/enrichment program.

My son is obsessed with planets and our solar system and this is one of the 4 books he owns on the subject (for now, I'm sure we'll get more). It's got great full color pages and easy to read font. The pictures are wonderful. There are even jokes on some of the pages which my son gets a kick out of.Our family loves the National Geographic Kids books. My son is 4.5 and can read pretty well independently. I sometimes have a hard time finding books at his reading level. Either the books are too easy to read, or the they're harder to read, but he's not ready for that level of comprehension. These books present facts in a simple way. Many words, but the words are easy to read. No complicated vocabulary. In fact, when new vocab is introduced, it's defined at the bottom of the page.

This was a nice, informative book that was intriguing to child.

It was bent and cover worn.

Great educational book for younger kids to teach them all about the planets and our solar system. Full color semi glossy pages.

My four years old grandson was overwhelmed with joy to receive a color book about planets
