There\'s No Place Like Space from The Cat In The Hat\'s Learning Library

The perfect first space book for those almost-readers, There\'s No Place Like Space takes us on a whirlwind tour of our solar system, with a few constellations thrown in for good measure. Cat in the Hat (along with beloved Thing One and Thing Two) straps on his space suit and rhymes his way among the nine planets, presenting important facts along the way. Where else could your preschooler learn phonics and astronomy at same time? \"A planet can have satellites that surround it. Uranus has lots of these objects around it\" is just one example. This is a fine addition to the library of any young stargazer--few books are written with this many facts furnished in such an easy-reading manner. (Preschool to early reader) --Jill LightnerFrom School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3-Fans of Dr. Seuss\'s favorite feline will enjoy learning through rhymed couplets and cartoonlike illustrations similar to the originals. Each book combines basic facts with interesting trivia to introduce readers to topics that are sure to be of interest. In Space, readers learn, \"On Venus the weather/is always the same-/hot, dry, and windy, /with no chance of rain.\" The familiar format and entertaining text are sure to appeal to beginning readers.

I can say without a doubt this was enjoyed by ALL the children. SO easy to read and accurate too :) They all enjoyed it and I am VERY happy to add this to my book collection!! J. SelewskiMy 2 1/2 year old daughter and 3 year old niece love this book. It gives enough information about the planets and solar system to be educational, but the author also uses classic Seuss elements of rhyming and silliness to keep the kids sustained in attention and entertained. I highly recommend this to any young solar system fans!!
