October 2024 Book of the Month

The little blue dot of the title of this engaging information story book is, of course, Earth, here feeling somewhat over-shadowed by her bigger neighbours in the solar system. What follows is an introduction to each planet, from an unseen narrator, with descriptions of their characteristics, atmosphere and planetary surfaces. Earth thinks they’re all more exciting, more special than she is; she’s not very big, not overly warm or cold, has no giant storms. The little voice pipes up again, and turns out to be that of a child who wisely reminds Earth that this planet is very special, and exactly right for the child and her friends.

It’s a fun story and the approach delivers lot of information about the planets in a way that is easy to understand and very memorable. The end papers feature all the planets with their vital statistics.
