It also doubles as a informational book. On every page in this book is a different postcard from a kid traveling the solar system in every planet. On every postcard is different informtional facts he observed while traveling around. I could use this book in my future classroom as a science lesson to teach students about the solar system. I could also use this book as a writing assignments to teach the kids to write on a postcard as it is more of an informal way to write. This book is about a class trip through outer space. The children are allowed to send postcards home telling about what they are seeing and learning while in outer space in a quirky way. Some of the children send back information in a poem, and some send back their postcards with quizzes. They all have a little bit of a different way to describe their trip. no reviews | add a review

Older readers will appreciate the play on words in the addresses of each of the postcards: the card from sun sent to Mr. and Mrs. Sol Corona; Venus’s card goes to Debbie DeMilo; the moon’s card goes to Luna Cee; Mars’s card goes to Mr. Martin Greenman. Readers will have fun checking out the destination for each postcard.
Fact-filled and charmingly illustrated, readers interested in space science will find much to appreciate in this book [written before Pluto’s demotion to dwarf planet status].
Highly recommended. ( )
