1. Simple text introduces young readers to the planets, the Sun, the Moon, and other objects in space.
2. Kid-friendly diagrams help explain concepts such as constellation patterns, hemispheres, orbits, and phases of the Moon. A chart in the back of the book can be used to teach young readers about ways to organize information.
3. Interiors feature photographs or simple diagrams on every page, plus an easy-to-read font that mimics the letterforms that early elementary students are taught to print. Increased spacing between words supports early readers' recognition of word units; in addition, increased spacing between lines helps new readers keep their place.
