What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is purely factual and scientific in nature.
Ideal Reader
A 6-year-old who just visited a planetarium and is now obsessed with space. Also, a 7 or 8-year-old who needs to do their first research report on a planet and is easily overwhelmed by dense text. This book provides achievable, confidence boosting information.
Parent Prep
No prep needed. The book is self contained and uses a simple glossary for new terms. It is a perfect book for a parent and child to discover together, even if the parent has limited knowledge of the subject. The child keeps asking "Why?" about space. "What are stars made of?" "Are there other planets?" "What are those rings around that one planet in my cartoon?" The parent wants a reliable, simple, non-fiction resource to answer these questions accurately.
