It's hard to describe exactly how enormous the solar system is and all of the fascinating things that comprise it. Planets, comets, meteors, and moons are all described in this collection of books that do a wonderful job of explaining things in a simplified manner. Suddenly space becomes a new playground for the imagination while remaining educational. The Magic School Bus stories are my personal favorites when it comes to explaining scientific subjects. Ms. Frizzle always takes her class right into the fray of things and the students take the journey of a lifetime.
