There’s No Place Like Space! All About Our Solar System (The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library)

A must-have for any little space lover
I am constantly trying to find ways to feed my 5 year old’s love of space. He knows all the planets, many different aspects about each planet, their sizes, their moons, the notable stars, the black hole, comets, meteors, the ISS, you name it. I am amazed at his knowledge level and especially the fact that I didn’t teach him any of it. The educational space videos on the Angry Birds space app deserve the credit for kicking off his knowledge and interest in space. I only came in later to supplement with reading materials and tangible visuals. Being an educator I understand the importance of taking advantage of children’s love for learning. He is so welcoming of new scientific information that I would be amiss not to find various ways to entertain his brain with space facts.I purchased the National Geographic Kids First Big Book of Space (which is a book I wish I could give 10 stars – and I have a review on that page) and this Dr. Seuss book for Christmas. We have a deep love for Dr. Seuss in our home, and it just so happens that he and my son turned out to share the same birthday (random and useless fact :-). But I said that to say that my son also has a love for Dr. Seuss and feels like Dr. Seuss (whom he calls his friend) wrote all of his books just for him, LOL. The National Geographic book has vivid imagery, with the facts presented in more of an educational format with chapters, introductions, etc. so it is great for serious learning. This book (while not written by Seuss) follows in true Dr. Seuss fashion, with humor, fun words and phrases, creative rhymes, and laughable images. I like the mnemonics used to reinforce learning, though I was concerned about this because my son already knows the content and I did not want him to get confused. So far this has not been a problem. Even though the information is familiar, the Seuss-speak draws my son to this book day after day. It is one of his chosen books for bedtime reading.This book is creative, educational, accurate, and entertaining. Definitely a must-have for any little space lover.

A cute way to introduce little ones to the solar system.
How can you go wrong with Dr. Seuss. What a clever way for little ones to learn about space, planets, and the solar system.

great
My grandkids loved this book.

Easy read.
My Grandson is almost 2 and is really into space. And who doesn’t like The Cat In The Hat?

Este libro pertenece a la colección “The cat in the hat learning library” donde el famoso gato llevará a los hermanos Sally y Dick a conocer un poco más el universo junto a sus inseparables Cosa 1 y Cosa 2.Es una forma hilvanada de ir mostrando a lo niños conceptos básicos sobre nuestro sistema solar tales como el nombre de los planetas y alguna característica representativa de cada uno, las constelaciones, el sol, la luna, las profesiones de astronauta y astrónomo y el telescopio. Al final del libro hay un glosario con la definición de los conceptos usados y varias recomendaciones de libros relacionados con el espacio.Es un libro muy sencillito para explicarles de una manera amena el sistema solar a niños que lo estén estudiando en el cole, les interese el tema o si van a visitar/han visitado un planetario. Normalmente es un tema que tiene mucho éxito entre los niños de 4-6 años a los que este libro seguro que gustará, especialmente si conocen al personaje del gato ensombrerado.No es un libro escrito ni ilustrado por Dr Seuss aunque usan sus personajes de hilo conductor y también está escrito usando rimas, como era habitual en todos los libros de Dr Seuss.Desgraciadamente no está traducido al español por lo que habrá que traducírselo a los niños que no tengan un buen nivel de inglés.

Happy with the product! Bought it for world book day and now reading it with my girls

come tutti i libri del dr. Seuss, è molto divertente , adatto ai bambini , e in lingua originale può servire per prendere dimestichezza con la lingua inglese.
