MY REVIEW:  During the 1960's, when the space program was still bright and shiny, I was a child who was captivated with stars, planets, the sun, the moon, and anything to do with outer space. "Solar System for Kids: A Junior Explorer's Guide to Planets, Dwarf Planets, and Everything Circling Our Sun" is written for children, but it is also enjoyable for older readers. Author Hilary Statum, a kindergarten teacher, speaker, and blogger, guides "explorers" through a galaxy of fascinating facts, interplanetary insights, awesome astronomy, and so much more. Chapters include "Our Universe", "Our Planet", "Terrestrial Planets and the Asteroid Belt", "Gas Giants and Ice Giants", The Kuiper Belt and Dwarf Planets", and "Exploring Space". You will also find "Important People in Space History". "A Deeper Look", "Explore More", and "The Mystery Continues". The helpful glossary explains such terms as : "asteroid", "black hole", "dwarf planet", "light-year", "solar eclipse", and more. I am a lifetime stargazer, and I really enjoyed the section on constellations (illustrations and text).
