Saturn

Summary: Wonderful! Perfect! Great illustrations!
Review: I read this aloud to my 6 year old to learn about space and our solar system. The text of this book was perfect: just enough information and written clearly and concisely. A huge draw, though, is the wonderful photographs used throughout the book. All but one image are photographs, most from NASA. The detail of the photos is amazing and makes learning about this planet come alive.

I am thrilled to see that Seymour Simon has written other books on our solar system, including a book for each planet.

This book is the perfect combination of just the right amount of information, written well, and complimented by wonderful illustrations. A book of this caliber outshines all the other books I've seen, including those written for older age ranges, including the large volumes that attempt to cover all aspects of space. A special, visual impact is made because of the large pages full of brilliantly colored images in this picture book format. Wonderful!

Summary: Great educational book for kids
Review: Like all of Seymour Simon's planet books, Saturn is an excellent non-fiction book for children. It gives exciting factual information about the planet including what its rings are made of and information about it's moons. The book is especially exciting for children because of the real pictures of Saturn that intrigue them to learn more about our solar system.
