Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Blast off for educational fun! Beginning readers and budding astronomers are launched via Seussian sorcery on a wild trip to visit the nine planets in our solar system along with the Cat in the Hat, Thing One, Thing Two, and Dick and Sally.
Amazon.com Review:
The perfect very first space book for those almost-readers, There's No Place Like Space takes us on a whirlwind tour of our solar system, with a few constellations thrown in for good measure. Cat in the Hat (along with beloved Thing One and Thing Two) straps on his space suit and rhymes his way among the nine planets, presenting important facts along the way. Where else could your preschooler learn phonics and astronomy at same time? 'A planet can have satellites that surround it. Uranus has lots of these objects around it' is just one example. This is a fine addition to the library of any young stargazer--few books are written with this many facts furnished in such an easy-reading manner. (Preschool to early reader) --Jill Lightner

My son really enjoys this book, but I've had to make up new rhymes for the Pluto page and say "eight" planets instead of nine. Maybe if enough of us contact them. the publishers will put out a new edition. www.randomhouse.com/kids

This is a really cute book about space. Fun and educational. My boys 5 & 6 love it as much as I do.

This is a great book but it's out of date. Pluto is no longer a planet. I would just skip that page but it's hard because there is also a mnemonic device that includes Pluto in it. They need to update this book with a second edition. Otherwise, it's a great book.

My son sees this book at his doctor's office and begged for his own copy. He's usually a truck guy, so I don't understand his attraction to this book, but he definitely strongly likes it. And, heck, there's no harm in him learning the names of planets and a bit about space! Great book.

The concept of this learning book is fine and it is a good book to introduce young children to space. I read it to my 4 1/2-year-old granddaughter and she enjoyed it. However, about half of the poems could have been much better. They lacked proper poetic cadence. A few seemed very ordinary. The publisher surely should have asked the writer to improve them. The statement that the spinning Earth will never slow down is technically incorrect. That's a fine point, but it would have been easy to present the idea correctly.
