Illustrated by
David Sim.
The text describes the solar system in simple, wide-eyed terms; illustrations show children and animals in a spaceship taking in the celestial splendor. There's too much repetition for the book to succeed without the accompanying CD (with audio and visual animation), but the wonder-filled illustrations are, well, uplifting. Information on the universe and space exploration and musical notation are appended.
