Description
This book explores the farthest planet from the sun, Neptune.
Quick Summary
Blast off to the edge of our solar system to meet the blue giant Neptune, where storms rage at 1,200 miles per hour and a moon actually swims backward. Kids will love the mind-blowing facts scattered throughout, like how Neptune's year lasts 165 Earth years and the planet was first spotted through math before anyone actually saw it through a telescope. If your kid loves the humor and space facts in the "National Geographic Kids" series or books like "There's No Place Like Space" by Tish Rabe, they'll be hooked on this. Perfect for curious kindergarteners through third graders at a 4.5 reading level who dream about the cosmos.
