    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 Excellent book

    This book was purchased for a 9 year old student with an interest in the planets. The quality of the book is excellent and the information presented was excellent (even for an adult). Good price. Reasonable.

    Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 Beautiful, but big and heavy

    This book, however beautiful and informative, is too big for kids to handle easily. A series of smaller, lighter weight books would have been better. Not suitable to carry in a backpack or take back home on the plane.

    This book is a substantial book covering all the questions, and some he has not thought of, my 7-year-old grandson asked while we watched a meteor show this summer. He is a great reader, reads above his grade level, and will be able to read this himself.
