Alvin Jenkins (1928–2010)

This book is great to use with children of all ages. Jenkins takes you on a tour of the planets, beyond our solar system, and how we travel through space. There are no actual pictures of the planets, but the illustrations put a humorous twist on our solar system. This book should be a fun time for all ages.

As a student this book would be a must read if i wanted to learn about Saturn. It has great pictures and amazing facts about this planet. It also has a little bit of information about the other planets in the solar system.

As a teacher i can use this book to get my students interested in the planet neptune. The pictures and illustations are always a great way to bring any student into the topic.… (meer)
