A delightful book, beautifully illustrated, that explains our solar system to kids in words they can understand. It offers some great analogies―for example, comparing the size of the Moon to that of a tennis ball to the size of the Earth as a little bigger than a basketball. The author has a Ph.D. in planetary science but can write at a level that is very accessible to kids.” ―Dr Rosaly M.C. Lopes, Senior Research Scientist at JPL and author of several books on volcanoes and planetary science
“Our oceans contain an astounding and mesmerizing diversity of animals that can ignite a child’s imagination. In My First Book of Ocean Animals, Ginjer employs her decades of experience writing fun and fact-based books about wild, adorable, creepy, and astonishing critters to capture our amazement with the marine world. Kids of all ages will be entranced by Ginjer’s fascinating descriptions and colorful images of ocean animals from corals to whale sharks, and parents will learn a thing or two, too. I know I did!” —Dr. David Stormer, marine biologist
“Do you have a junior scientist in your life? My First Book of Earth by Stephanie Schuttler is a wonderfully comprehensive book for young readers who want to learn about all aspects of our incredible planet.
