K-3Did You Know? series.
Illustrated by
Pete Oswald
&
Aaron Spurgeon.
This hodgepodge of solar system facts conveys solid information in an informal tone: "Neptune...is called an 'ice giant' because it is made mostly of... That's right! Ice!" The cartoony illustrations make no attempt to be accurate: animal astronauts and scientists (and some green aliens) cavort across the busy pages. The whole is an adequate introduction. "More Fun Facts" are appended.
