Planets (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 2)

National Geographic never disappoints. We have the magazine subscription for kids, and this is very similar in its design. A great item for young readers. Our 4 year old is just starting to spell in preschool. A bit early, but he loves writing letters and learning to now write words. I have purchased some of these to encourage his interest in reading and they are really doing just that. The words are simple, and he is able to recognize many of them. He loves the subjects- planets, volcanoes, penguins, wolves, etc. We read a minimum of 2 books at bedtime and these just make it that much more fun! They're also great for in the car. They have a portable size, are thin, and keeps him entertained on long drives by looking through the book- spotting words, and enjoying pictures. Thanks Nat Geo!

Stunning pictures and excellent information. Beautiful books for children!

I damn near had a heart attack after paying for a four year education at a highly regarded university for my daughter and she couldn't name the first few planets in order from the sun. Yes, my heart skipped a beat... In any case, she got this book a few days later and she can now conversationally mention the planets and not look like a total idiot. SO a $100,000 education was completed with a $5 book. WORTH IT.She also got a children's book on narwhals after losing a bet on they being factual or fictional creatures. If YOU aren't sure Amazon has a book for you. Fun fact, the tusk is derivative of an upper canine tooth. Too bad they don't have two.Paul

The best series ever for young readers. It is very hard to find books for young readers that are based on the natural world. The photos are beautiful, the storyline is full of accurate, interesting, scientific facts about the subject, and has a vocabulary building review at the back of the book. And each book in this series has several upside down jokes that reference the subject, an added point of interest for Montessori and all children. BTW, I have gotten more than 30 of these titles for my classroom. Highly recommended!

Excellent choice of books for wee scholars interested in the planets. Easy to read, lovely photography. Highly recommend. We are using these books in an after-school tutoring/enrichment program.

It was bent and cover worn.

We were watching TV one time and a clip showed about planets and outer space and was talking about it so I knew he had interest in them so I looked for a book about planets. And so far this is the best book that I found in terms of value and its substance which I got from reading the reviews. And we got this book my son loves it. It is easy to comprehend and fun to read. I like the graphics. My son who is 4 years old now memorize the solar system and is familiar on how it works. Since we got it, we still read it everyday. Next time I'll get him a solar sytem toy.

This was a perfect book for a kid that loves the solar system! It’s super informative and made well. It’s a sturdy book that should hold up well.
