Great introduction to the planets!
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 ( bhurleyg )
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. ( clairity3 )
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.

Great resource for home or classroom ( doreen_free )
I bought this book to introduce a unit on Saturn for my third grade class. When I first scanned the book I thought maybe I'd made a mistake and bought something beneath their level. Not so! I read it aloud to them & they loved it. They all wanted to take it home to read again.
