Book Description: Can you really catch a shooting star? Why is our galaxy called 'the Milky Way'? Is Pluto just a comic book character? The solar system is a big place with lots of big questions still to be answered. But now you can get a glimpse at what scientists know without even having to leave the planet! Find out about asteroids, meteoroids, and craters. Learn how to safely watch a solar eclipse. Discover what makes each planet special and why Earth stands apart from the others. Kenneth C. Davis dispels many myths about the vast beyond in Don't Know Much About The Solar System. His question and answer format, accompanied by riddles and humorous illustrations, make learning about the solar system an out of this world experience! /Content /EditorialReview EditorialReview Source Amazon.com Review /Source Content Five minutes with this book, and no one will be able to say they 'don't know much about the solar system.' Chock full of facts, questions, and answers about the sun, gravity, planets, astronauts, space exploration, asteroids, the moon, and so much more, Kenneth C. Davis's Don't Know Much About the Solar System is a terrific resource for anyone interested in what's out there. Geared toward readers aged 6 to 9, the book uses a fun question and answer format, as well as riddles and humorous illustrations by Pedro Martin, to make learning about the solar system a positively sunny experience. Young readers discover why the moon is different shapes on different nights, which planets (besides Saturn) have rings, what's beyond the Milky Way, and why, if the earth is round, people on the other side don't fall off. Davis, author of the bestselling Don't Know Much About History, has turned to a younger audience with his Don't Know Much About series. Don't Know Much About the 50 States is a great companion to the solar system title, while Don't Know Much About Planet Earth and Don't Know Much About Space work well for older readers. (Ages 6 to 9) Emilie Coulter
