What’s it about?
A heartwarming kids moon book about a friendship-seeking moon that also celebrates the extraordinary 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing! In a solar system full of planets, Mars feels all alone. No one has time to play with him. Will he ever get a playmate? Until one day, Earth sends her little brother Mars his first friends: the rovers Spirit and Opportunity! Travel around the solar system and celebrate what makes each planet unique! From Neptune to Mercury and all the planets in between, each one is different and each one is happy to be what they are. Color your way through the solar system in this beginning coloring book for the youngest of space lovers! From Mercury to Neptune, this coloring book is the perfect screen-free activity for toddlers, kids, and fans of Chris Ferrie! There are three rules a planet must follow, and Pluto breaks them all. It just doesn’t fit in! Pluto is sad to no longer be an official planet. But with the help of some friends, Pluto might find its place in space again! Using the familiar rhythm of “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,” follow along as the black hole swallows up the universe and everything that exists in it, from the biggest to the smallest pieces of matter.

Adorable and Educational
The rhymes are catchy, and the illustrations are fun and colorful. It makes learning about the planets easy and enjoyable for young kids. My toddler asks for it often at bedtime.

Cute + unique book, fun for babies to hold
I’ve gifted this book a couple of times now, and it’s always a hit! It’s such a fun change from the usual classics that most baby libraries already have, and the design is brilliant—the little cut-out holes make it easy for tiny hands to grab and flip through. The story is cheerful and colorful, and as a millennial aunt/friend, I can’t help but feel a little wave of nostalgia for the “9th planet” we all grew up with. Sweet, unique, and baby-approved – this is a go-to whenever my husband or I gifts a baby book to friends and family.

Board book size
The book is cute, but I wish they made a smaller baby board book for little ones. Otherwise, cute illustrations and simple facts.

Perfect for my little scientist
My little guy LOVES this book! The pictures are adorable and well drawn. The rhyming scheme is super cute. I am so happy to have a book that is science based and full of little facts about the solar system to encourage my little one to learn at an early age! Highly recommend this book

Amazon should know how to deliver books without damaging.
This is a fantastic book and the back has fun facts, plus a dedication the minor planet Pluto that was not included. If you are Gen-x you know that acknowledging Pluto on the back just warms yor heart.Most of the science info is on the back cover. The board book focuses on naming the planets and the artistry. I think this is great and the extra facts on the back are better for older kids who might want to pretend they are too big for baby books.This is a really beautiful book, but there was damage. The lip is all suffered up and marred (2nd picture) and where you open the book (1st picture) there is already a wear crease. I blame the defects on Amazon, but a cellophane wrap might have helped prevent the damage

This planets book is wonderful. The illustrations are colorful, engaging, and capture children’s attention from the very first page. The information is explained in a simple and clear way, making it easy for kids to understand space concepts without feeling overwhelmed.My child really enjoys flipping through it, asking questions, and learning fun facts about the solar system. It’s a perfect book to spark scientific curiosity in kids and encourage a love for reading.I totally recommend it for parents and teachers looking for an entertaining educational tool.

Je suis devenu un vrai fan de ces livres, tout comme mon fils. Bien qu’il soit encore un peu jeune pour en profiter pleinement, ils commencent très simplement et je suis convaincu qu’ils l’aideront à travers les premières étapes de la scolarité.Chaque livre de la série part du même point conceptuel d’une «balle», quelque chose auquel la plupart des enfants peuvent s’identifier, et dans la plupart des cas, vous pouvez en trouver un autour de la maison pour aider à visualiser davantage le contenu.La fin du livre peut être un peu complexe même pour les adultes mais cela n’empêche pas mon fils de m’aimer essayer d’expliquer ce qui se passe.Bien:- Livres intelligents pour enfants et adultes- Éducatif tout en s’amusant- Thème cohérent tout au long de la sérieMauvais:- Je ne suis même pas sûr de comprendre.Je recommande pleinement ce livre et les autres de la série à tout parent ou tuteur.==== ==== ==== ====I have become a real fan of these books, and so has my son. Although he is still a bit young to fully enjoy them, they start very simple, and I am convinced they will help him through the early stages of schooling.Each book in the series starts from the same concept point of a “ball” , something that most children can relate to, and in most cases you can find one around the house to help further visualize the content.The ending of the book can be a bit complex even for the adults but that doesnt stop my son from loving me try to explain what is happening.Good:- Clever books for children and adults- Educational whilst fun- Consistent theme throughout the seriesBad:- I’m not sure even I understand.I fully recommend this book and the others in the series to any parent or guardian.
