The Planets in Our Solar System

Where is it partly cloudy and 860 DegreesF Venus! This classic Level 2 Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out by children’s nonfiction veteran Franklyn M. Branley and illustrated by Kevin O'Malley is full of fascinating facts about the eight planets in our solar system, including our very own Earth. Photographs from Voyager and other space explorers complement Kevin O'Malley’s colorful illustrations.

Now rebranded with a new look, this book features a Find Out More section with instructions for making your own solar system mobile and web research prompts about how to track the moon. Both text and artwork were vetted for accuracy by Jurrie van der Woude at NASA.
