Well written, informational book on Venus, the second planet from the sun. Highly recommended for kids wanting to know more about space! Got a school project to write? Then this book is a wonderful resource. Great pictures (photos and diagrams) and information. This book is written for the earlier reader - not so much detail as in some of the other IP Factly books but not as simply written as the animal books in this series.Some snippets from the book:Venus is just 400 miles smaller in diameter than the earth * No seasons, hot all the time * Spins clockwise * Covered in thick clouds of acid * No moons * No life on Venus *At the end of the book there are 20 True or False statements to test your child on what he/she has read. (Answers are included on the following page.)You will also find a link to their website for 9 YouTube videos on Venus. We use these books and videos as resources in our homeschool. It saves so much time not having to search through YouTube yourself but parents please be vigilant around your children as sometimes the Google "click" ads that appear on the bottom of the screen are not appropriate for kids. When we are watching I quickly click the X to get rid of them!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from our house to yours! Happy learning! Thanks IP for another great book :)
