Venus--hot and cloudy. Developing readers learn about the rocky planet's key features in this low-level search-and-find beginning reader. Venus isn't the closest to the sun, but thanks to its thick clouds that trap heat, it's the hottest! This rocky planet has a large, iron core and looks like a bright star in the night sky. Early readers discover new vocabulary about the second planet in our solar system, including facts about its geography, atmosphere, and a spacecraft that once studied it.

A search-and-find feature reinforces new concepts to build reading success while close-up images captivate young astronomers. A great early STEM book to inspire science learning for kindergartners and first graders.
