From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-7 A clear, up-to-date introduction to the solar system, and a ``hello'' to the rest of the universe in an attractive oversized volume. Gallant gives a balanced presentation of the known and the postulated, describing several of the newer ideas astronomers are considering these days, but pointing out which ones are unproven. The illustrations are gorgeous, whether full-color photos or artists' visualizations from vantages that no camera has yet visited. The diagrams are also in full color and beautiful, but in the one that shows the relative sizes of the sun and the planets, the labels for Venus and Mars are reversed, Pluto is missing, and the moons, as so often happens, are not shown to scale. This is about half of the book that Richard Muarer's fine Nova Space Explorer's Guide (Crown, 1985) is, covering only the things learned about space and not how they were learned, but it is just as appealing and better organized for assignments. Margaret L. Chatham, formerly at Smithtown Library, N.Y.
