Jupiter: The Largest Planet (Our Solar System)
Designed to introduce young readers to the building blocks of astronomy, the Our Solar System series presents basic information in a reliable format. The small, square books feature a few sentences of large-print text on the left-hand side of each spread, faced by a cosmic photo enhanced by light design elements on the right-hand side. Jupiter is a solid presentation of just how enormous the planet is compared to ours, though at least half the pages end in exclamation points, as if Allyn is unconvinced that readers will understand how neat things such as the Great Red Spot really are. A short glossary and a list of resources conclude each volume, and readers will come away with a better sense of our celestial neighborhood.
