VERDICT Although attractive, this series doesn't improve on extant series.(c) Copyright 2011. From School Library Journal Gr 2-4-A visually strong exploration of the eight planets in the solar system. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. A minor error appears in The Secrets of Saturn, when the author claims that the "fastest winds on Earth occur during hurricanes," when, in fact, it's tornadoes that are responsible. . The inclusion of "Critical Thinking Using the Common Core" at the end of the book will appeal to educators, administrators, and parents and will provide students with an opportunity to articulate and analyze what they've read. Filled with "Fast Facts," including the planet's diameter, distance from the sun, number of moons, and other relevant details, as well as short, readable sentences, each volume supports Next Generation Science Standards.
