Your budding astronauts will love this collection of solar system books for kids! They’ll love learning about the planets, stars, sun, and moon.
My favorite part of building unit studies is gathering a collection of good books. Kids can learn a lot from reading non-fiction books at their reading level. When they read (or listen) to books, they’re more likely to remember information when they’re connected to it.
