It is an excellent way to introduce my kids to advanced science topics in an age-appropriate manner. The drawings are so cute. I am thrilled with this purchase." - ACS"Must read - These books make great gifts and great discoveries in the classroom." - Raman Bhasin"Beautiful treatment of a complex topic - This book was a delightful surprise. As someone who teaches young kids about computer science, I expected this to be stilted and/or boring but it was lovely and engaging! It's a great intro to an important topic." - Stephanie Hosford"Simply easy for the child to grasp scientific concepts! A fun way to learn - I believe that the collection is a great way to introduce these topics to our children, these topics will help them better understand the world of science and technology that they are growing up in" - Angela K."An Extremely Engaging Book for Curious Minds - My partner and I absolutely loved the artwork and found the content to be remarkably better when compared to books of a similar vein that are currently available. We look forward to adding more of Dr. Dhoot's books to our already growing collection." - Sakshi"Useful beyond its intended scope - It would actually (and unfortunately) be quite helpful to use these pages in a PowerPoint to explain neural networks to adults." - MP"Must Buy!

Living busily on Planet Earth, we rarely remember that we actually inhabit only a miniscule part of the universe. In The Planets and the Solar System, Jen Green paints the wider picture, and takes us on a journey across billions of kilometers in our galaxy, from our Sun to near and distant planets. Some, like Mercury, have a molten core surrounded with crust and spins quickly; Jupiter, on the other hand, is a big ball of gas. For 2,500 years, mathematicians and scientists from Pythagoras to Hubble have investigated our universe and found that the dimensions, the temperatures and the speeds (light years!) are unbelievably extreme. A fascinating introduction for younger listeners.

Young Simon Beck can't fall asleep because he's terrified about having to take an astronomy test the next morning at school. But not to worry! A friendly alien named Neil Newton zooms into his room and takes him on a hilarious, hair-raising tour of the Solar System to make sure he aces the test! Simon gets to zip through the rings of Saturn, walk on the surface of Mars, and even has a close encounter with the Sun!
