No child will ever need to consider how boring and dull life is ever again as this book will open their eyes to reality! Get ready for a fun fact, epic adventure into the solar system where you will learn incredible facts along the way. From spinning speeds, to gravity and the planets, this is a fantastic book for all children.

Planets will trigger no end of questions and awe and wonder for the world around them and above them. Can we live on Venus with its volcanoes? Or Mars without gravity? Or even Saturn with its lovely rings? Through each planet, we get an insight into what life would really be like if we lived here, with even just 1 birthday every 164.8years on Neptune. So... how is life on Earth?
