Planets A New View of the Solar System by David A. Aguilar*

National Geographic is, of course, going to publish a beautiful book.
A great layout-a couple short paragraphs about each planet and other object of interest; a couple of photographs/drawings; the Greek or Roman god/goddess the planet named after and a small diagram of where the planet/object is located in space.
New information about recent discoveries made this book very fun to read.
Other text structures: contents, headings, picture captions, diagrams, glossary, VERY fun activity to do in the back that demonstrates the solar system's vastness and planet size, charts, further exploration, index
*Highly recommend.
