Gr 1–2—Each book in this reliable planet set for classrooms and elementary libraries has four chapters that follow the same structure. In chapter 1, the planet's most distinguishing feature is introduced, it is placed in a solar system lineup, and its size is compared to Earth or the Sun. Chapter 2 covers the planet's moon(s) or name origin in the case of moon-less Mercury and Venus. Chapter 3 reports on the weather conditions and day and year length, and chapter 4 is about the satellites and rovers that have or will explore each planet. Full-color photographs that take up at least half of each page and the large font size make this series welcoming to the youngest readers. A QR code in each book links to a 3-D image of the planet. Planet facts, glossary, "learn more" section, and an index are included. VERDICT Recommended for collections in need of refreshing.
