 Great for the preschool set August 20, 2009

We got this book when my then 27 month old told me he wanted to be an astronaut (still not sure where that came from). Within 3 days he was quizzing me on the planets. That said, this is a great introduction and at 2 it was too hard for him to understand the concepts of galaxy, etc. He is now 2.5y and still loves this book, we have moved on to more detailed books but he loves to sit and read this one to his doll at night (much of it is memorized as his reading level is not this high yet). That said, I would not buy this for a child past Kindergarten and even then it would be based on their knowledge and ability level as it may be too easy. Pluto is still included but this book was published well prior to the 2006 change in status so maybe an update would be due. We often just skipped over it at first and now take it to discuss the dwarf planets.
 Great way to learn! August 9, 2009

This book along with the other books in this series is a wonderfully captivating way to teach kids in an entertaining way. Fabulous!

We bought this for my 4yo-who has been interested in all things space since she was just over 2yo-for her 3rd birthday. She loves this book-it certainly has helped her learn the planets. The illustrations are fun and not too grown-up. I think this is the perfect introduction to space for preschoolers.
A great book for helping them understand where they live July 7, 2008

My daughter had a hard time with the difference between cities, states and countries until we read this. I feel it gave her a good understanding of where we are on the map.
 Okay, but inaccurate. October 1, 2007

I liked "Me on the Map" MUCH better. I ordered the space book because the map book was very useful in explaining the concept of map representation to my four year old. This book simply wasn't as good. It is inaccurate, also, as it includes Pluto as a planet, though it is no longer considered to be one.
