By Anita Yasuda, Illustrated by Bryan Stone
Nomad Press, 2009
Book Review by Pooja Makhijani
From Kahani Summer 2009



Kahani regular Anita Yasuda’s non-fiction book—and her first book for children—Explore the Solar System (Nomad Press, 2009) combines hands-on science, fun facts, and easy-to-follow projects that use common household products and recycled supplies. This book covers a lot of ground: readers will learn about our solar system, space travel and exploration, and the universe beyond. The whimsically-illustrated book is full of short biographies of famous scientists, space-related vocabulary words, even jokes! Explore the Solar System answers every question a space-explorer-in-training might have.
