(4) K-3 Illustrated by Janeen Mason. Borrowing its rhyme scheme from "Over in the Meadow," this book provides a forgettable two-stanza poem and one prose fact about each planet (and a disclaimer about Pluto). Melted-crayon illustrations offer a swirly background; finer lines reveal each planet's special characteristics. More detailed and useful information follows. Activities conclude the volume. Reading list, websites.
