Richly colored paint-and-collage illustrations are set against a velvety, deep-blue background in this first look at the solar system, which begins by asking young readers to look up at the night sky and spot the moon. Then a two-page spread diagram of the solar system appears with the vibrant sun in the center. What follows is a planet-by-planet journey away from the sun. Each planet gets a close-up accompanied by a very basic fact. For instance, it is noted that "Mars has giant volcanoes." At story's end, stars and comets light up the sky. A cheerful introduction to outer space. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews. - Publishers Weekly Reviews : PW Reviews 2016 February #3
In one of two titles launching the Hello, World series (Weather is available simultaneously), McDonald uses chunky, vividly colored collage-style illustrations to showcase the planets of our solar system, even including Pluto, described as "a tiny dwarf planet, very far away from the sun." Direct sentences introduce the highlights of the planets, moon, and sun, while also touching on constellations and comets. Supplemental tidbits ("Ouch! Asteroids and comets often hit this planet," she writes about Mercury) offer additional details to pique the interest of children just hearing about Earth's cosmic neighbors for the first time. Up to age 3. (Mar.)
