8 Little Planets: 1

Lovely book, my kids really enjoy it,

My son's favourite book. Lovely little story and very good for teaching them the planets!

A great book for 2 year olds, good quality, great illustrations, colourful and just a few words on each page to keep them interested, worth the money for little learners

Cute illustrations

Chris Ferrie has created the brilliant "... for Babies" series. We've bought loads of these for ourselves and as presents for others. We've recommended them to plenty of people as well. On the basis of those books, we bought this - a world of difference (no pun intended). In the "... for babies" series his short punchy writing style is a brilliant accompaniment to the pictures. Here he tries to use a different writing style... and it's really poor. He's trying to write in verse but it seems like he has no sense of rhyme or rhythm. "8 little planets with the Sun at the center. Does each one wish it were a little bit better" - Apart from the complete fail on the rhyme, I don't even know what he's trying to say here. It's like he couldn't think of anything better and just thought "Oh this'll do". The book is beautifully colourful and physically attractive. Although, on some pages, there is so much going on, that the central theme of the page (the planet in question) kind of gets lost. The idea of the book is great, but the sort of fun that many authors have, using rhyme and tempo in language that is to be read aloud to kids, is missing here. If someone else had provided the writing to support Chris Ferrie's imaginative ideas, this could have been a great book. Second reviewer feedback(!) - Our son has complete free reign over which books he wants read to him and (unlike other Chris Ferrie books) this one hardly ever gets picked. UPDATE: I've updated our score on this as our son picks this one quite regularly now. As above, it is a beautiful little book.... in its concept, layout and presentation (it just has incredibly clunky writing!)

Sturdy book, bright colours, and has kept my nephew entertained.

My son loves this book he took it to school so many times

Love the pictures of all the eight planets

Je suis devenu un vrai fan de ces livres, tout comme mon fils. Bien qu'il soit encore un peu jeune pour en profiter pleinement, ils commencent très simplement et je suis convaincu qu'ils l'aideront à travers les premières étapes de la scolarité. Chaque livre de la série part du même point conceptuel d'une «balle», quelque chose auquel la plupart des enfants peuvent s'identifier, et dans la plupart des cas, vous pouvez en trouver un autour de la maison pour aider à visualiser davantage le contenu. La fin du livre peut être un peu complexe même pour les adultes mais cela n'empêche pas mon fils de m'aimer essayer d'expliquer ce qui se passe. Bien: - Livres intelligents pour enfants et adultes - Éducatif tout en s'amusant - Thème cohérent tout au long de la série Mauvais: - Je ne suis même pas sûr de comprendre. Je recommande pleinement ce livre et les autres de la série à tout parent ou tuteur. ==== ==== ==== ==== I have become a real fan of these books, and so has my son. Although he is still a bit young to fully enjoy them, they start very simple, and I am convinced they will help him through the early stages of schooling. Each book in the series starts from the same concept point of a “ball” , something that most children can relate to, and in most cases you can find one around the house to help further visualize the content. The ending of the book can be a bit complex even for the adults but that doesnt stop my son from loving me try to explain what is happening. Good: - Clever books for children and adults - Educational whilst fun - Consistent theme throughout the series Bad: - I'm not sure even I understand. I fully recommend this book and the others in the series to any parent or guardian.

Está increíble, es grueso, ideal para un niño que sigue experimentando con el mundo, la impresión es de muy buena calidad y la ilustración es muy bonita, lo amé.

Well done and cute book for kids. I will give this to my daughter to introduce her to astronomy :-)

Excelente qualidade. Totalmente satisfeito com a aquisição.

El libro es bastante didáctico, explica muy bien curiosidades de nuestro sistema solar en forma de cuento. Estoy muy contenta con la calidad, las páginas son de cartón de varios centímetros de grosor y los colores son brillantes por lo que el libro llama la atención. como pega, vino un poco dañado en una esquina que da la impresión de haberle dado un golpe. Aun así, lo recomiendo. Bueno para pasar un ratito divertido con los más pequeños.
