SPACE WEEK - Meet the Planets

It's SPACE WEEK! And what better way to celebrate all things celestial than spending some time with the planets in our amazing solar system.

Meet the Planets is a super-fun and friendly way to get to know our Sun and the planets and moons in our night sky.

Hello I'm the SUN - nice to meet you!
I'm the biggest thing up in the sky
I'm friendly but don't get too close now
Or I'll frizzle you up to a fry!

Each planet has its own personality and friendly smiling face and I'm told by fans that young children love learning the rhymes and little facts we've included.

Bethan Woollvin's distinctive illustrations sing from the page, with zingy dayglow orange to balance the black pages and white text.

You can watch me read the story here and demonstrate the relative sizes of the planets using fruit!

There are also loads of free facts and activities for you here.

Meet the Planets is published by Bloomsbury, 2019. Watch out for BOOK TWO coming soon!
