Let's Learn About Outer Space!: A First Look at Planets, Stars, and Astronauts - Paperback

by Lee Zander (Author), Two Little Ravens (Author)

When your preschooler has endless "Why?" questions about the night sky, and big space books seem too advanced, Let's Learn About Outer Space! A First Look at Planets, Stars, and Astronauts makes early astronomy simple and joyful to share.

Written for ages 3-5, this friendly introduction to the solar system uses short, kid-ready facts that spark curiosity and build real science vocabulary, without overwhelming little learners.

You'll read about the Sun as a giant glowing ball of gas (so huge that over one million Earths could fit inside!) and learn that sunlight reaches Earth in just eight minutes.

Curious kiddos will giggle imagining how they'd weigh less on the Moon, where footprints could last forever.

As you travel from planet to planet, children discover memorable, bite-sized facts, like:

• Saturn's "hat" is made of rings of ice and rock.
• Jupiter's incredible size (over 1,300 Earths could fit inside)
• More stars than grains of sand on all our beaches
• Mercury zooms fastest around the Sun.
• Venus is the warmest planet (even hotter than Mercury)
• A gigantic volcano on Mars
• Uranus is the coldest planet, and Neptune has super-fast winds.
• Tiny Pluto is way out at the edge of our solar system.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and circle time, this engaging outer space book is a gentle first step into planets and the solar system for kids and preschoolers.
