Planets (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 2)

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!

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

My son is obsessed with planets and our solar system and this is one of the 4 books he owns on the subject (for now, I'm sure we'll get more). It's got great full color pages and easy to read font. The pictures are wonderful. There are even jokes on some of the pages which my son gets a kick out of. Our family loves the National Geographic Kids books. My son is 4.5 and can read pretty well independently. I sometimes have a hard time finding books at his reading level. Either the books are too easy to read, or the they're harder to read, but he's not ready for that level of comprehension. These books present facts in a simple way. Many words, but the words are easy to read. No complicated vocabulary. In fact, when new vocab is introduced, it's defined at the bottom of the page.

Stunning pictures and excellent information. Beautiful books for children!

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!

My 3 yr old DS loves this book. He can't read it but it is very lightweight and he carries it around calling it his planet book. It has all the planets he recognizes. My DS can recognize and name all the planets in order and talks about their attributes. I like it because the photos are accurate unlike some illustrated books on planets. If he is going to remember facts about our solar system at least they can be accurate ones. Finally this is really like a supplement book to a more simple easy to read book he has at home. It is way to difficult for a toddler to understand without adult help.

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.

My four years old grandson was overwhelmed with joy to receive a color book about planets

I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend for my 3 year old. Its a small book but very informative with attractive illustrations. My son really loves it. Will definitely recommend it.

My son has just completed his first yr at primary school and loves reading and space. He now has a few of these books and it encourages him to read independently and push himself

Very small booklet, expensive for what it’s worth.

Preso per la scuola scritto in inglese molto bello ben fatto

It is paperback quality, my son loves the photo illustrations and good thing about this book is it include dwarf planets, so additional knowledge to my 2.10 year old son. Definitely a worth book to buy considering the price of 19aed.
