Each planet takes a turn to waltz onto the page and introduce itself in this fun take on the solar system. From small, sprightly Mercury to life-nurturing Earth, ‘wild child’ Mars and spinning Saturn, each planet is given a personality, making information about space engaging and easy-to-remember. Jam-packed with knowledge which is easy-to-absorb, this makes an accessible entry point into the topic, and discussing the science behind the rhyme would extend its reach for older children. It would also make an excellent prompt for a dramatised production or space-themed project.
