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.

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?

This book is wonderful! I feel that any time a book sparks the interest for young people it deserves high praise. My daughter enjoys all of the books in the Dr. Suess Learning Library Series, but especially this one.
