Product Description
From Amazon
The perfect first space book for those almost-readers, There's No Place Like Space takes us on a whirlwind tour of our solar system, with a few constellations thrown in for good measure. Cat in the Hat (along with beloved Thing One and Thing Two) straps on his space suit and rhymes his way among the nine planets, presenting important facts along the way. Where else could your preschooler learn phonics and astronomy at same time? "A planet can have satellites that surround it. Uranus has lots of these objects around it" is just one example. This is a fine addition to the library of any young stargazer--few books are written with this many facts furnished in such an easy-reading manner. (Preschool to early reader) --Jill Lightner
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Fans of Dr. Seuss's favorite feline will enjoy learning through rhymed couplets and cartoonlike illustrations similar to the originals. Each book combines basic facts with interesting trivia to introduce readers to topics that are sure to be of interest. From Bugs: "Here is a riddle/I learned from my mother./How's a skunk and a ladybug/like one another?/When danger is near,/it is easy to tell-/they suddenly give off/a terrible smell!" While the grammar is off, Seussian rhyme is rarely totally correct ("thunk"). In Space, readers learn, "On Venus the weather/is always the same-/hot, dry, and windy,/with no chance of rain." The familiar format and entertaining text are sure to appeal to beginning readers.

This review is from: There's No Place Like Space: All About Our Solar System (Hardcover)
My 4 year old LOVES this book. It presents accurate information about the planets in a simplified, fun way that young readers (and parents, too) enjoy. If your budding astronomer or astronaut is looking for simple, fun, colorful books about space, this is the best!

I cannot say how impressed I am with The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library, they truly are wonderful books. There's No Place Like Space! is fun to read and helps children understand space and our solar system in a fun rhythmic way. My son loves this book and has shared it with his pre-school class with high praises from his teachers. The information in this book will give a young child a good base of knowledge for future learning.

My Favourite Cat in The Hat Book,
This review is from: There's No Place Like Space: All About Our Solar System (Hardcover)
The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library Collection is a fabulous series and a great addition to any library. All feature the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1, Thing 2, Sally and Dick (from the original Cat in the Hat book). Marketed as nonfiction for pre-schoolers, this series gives kids great information on the world around them. At the end of each book is a glossary of words used and recommendations for other books on the subject covered. In my opinion Tish Rabe rhymes better then Bonnie Worth (another author in the Learning Library Collection) but both authors would make Dr. Seuss proud.In There's No Place Like Space, the Cat in the Hat teaches Sally & Dick about our Solar System. They cover all the planets with some facts (Mercury is close to the Sun's burning light, it is hot in the daytime but freezing at night) and includes a pneumonic to remember their order. They also discuss the sun & constellations. This was our first book in the Learning Library Series and it is still my favourite. This book flows so well that I had to find out what other books Tish Rabe wrote and I discovered the Learning Library Series. This is a great book for a science minded parent (I love reading it and all in the Learning Library Series because I usually learn something to). They are pretty well researched but these are not textbooks and may contain some errors. Remember the idea is to get kids interested in learning and science and with that in mind - these are fabulous books. Other Learning Library favourites: There's a Map on My Lap!: All About Maps, Inside Your Outside: All About the Human Body, Is a Camel a Mammal?, One Cent, Two Cents, Old Cent, New Cent: All About Money, Oh Say Can You Say What's the Weather Today?: All About Weather & Oh, Say Can You Say Di-No-saur?
