My First Book of Dwarf Planets: A Kid's Guide to the Solar System's Small Planets Paperback – April 22, 2022

This was very interesting. I knew very little about dwarf planets, only that Pluto was downgraded from planet to dwarf planet. I heard about Ceres but knew little about it. Now I learned there are five dwarf planets in the Kieper Belt. There are also more in other solar systems. I liked how comparisons were made so I could understand the size. I especially liked the charts given on how long a day lasts or a year. The orbit map fascinated me. I tried to follow each orbit. The planets closest to the sun were hard to follow because they were so close to one another, and I kept losing track of the planet only to find I was in a different planets orbit. I wish the orbits would have been different colors so it would have been easier to see, but I understand why only two colors were used. I learned a whole lot in a simplistic format perfect for introducing me to dwarf planets. I can now study other books on it for more information.

Enjoyed this book so much.It has big, beautiful images and incredible space photos.At the same time the epic space facts can help my 4-yo space fan knowing the space more and more.This is a great book and highly recommended

K.J. Field did a great job of describing the dwarf planets and their qualities to her young readers. The photos and illustrations were a delight. Well done!

My grandson is into space. Because we started with NASA, he will not accept less. I knew he would enjoy this and he does.

My First Book of Dwarf Planets has colorful, clear, and detailed pictures along with lots of factual information regarding the little known “dwarf planets” of our solar system. This interesting book could be read independently by most 7-9 year old readers or in collaboration with an adult. Included throughout the book are pronunciations , interesting facts and location within our solar system. This book would be an excellent addition to a home or classroom library.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Do you know what a dwarf planet is? I did not either, before I read this book. Read it to find all about our small but, not forgotten planets way out there.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wonderful book, colourful, good for giggles and dreaming on a warm summer night with the grandkids. My fav is Eris.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved the pictures...what I didn't like is how it stated that the dwarf planets were named after gods and gave a brief description of some of them.While I know that the planets are named after various gods, I don't think that it's good for very young children to learn about those gods until they are older.
