 My space-loving kiddo picks up this book every time he spots it on the shelf, “No Place, Space!” he shouts.

While it’s dated and says Pluto is a planet, he laughs out loud and enjoys pointing to the planets and saying the names along with the book.

This is a great book to start your little ones on their very first space adventure. Tish Rabe takes the Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat character on a journey to teach children about the planets, the moon, and the sun. But it doesn’t stop there!

Neptune’s bright blue color and Saturn’s incredible lightness are just a few of the fun snippets of space knowledge scattered throughout the book. Wonderful illustrations combined with whimsical prose will keep young readers…
