Little Sleepy solar system

"Now say goodnight to everyone: planets, moons and shushing sun…"

Cozy illustrations of the planets, sun, and stars bring a friendly warmth to this early introduction to our solar system. A primer companion to the picture book Sleepy Solar System, this board book rich in concepts such as counting, colors, opposites, and more is perfect for our youngest astronomers.

Reviews:

“…Written by Dr. John Hutton and illustrated by Doug Cenko, a delightful board book inspired by the author and illustrator’s previous work, Sleepy Solar System… Thoroughly charming. From the unbelievably sweet artwork of the planets – each meant to emulate fabric with illustrated fibers and stitches, giving them an extra-cozy feel – to the simple rhyming text, this little celestial exploration is a treat. Pluto is an outlier (listed as number “9?” in the first spread), though it is not explained why; parents will have to fill in that bit of trivia. The length is brief, and perfect for the very littlest of bookworms… Overall, a fun planetary primer that young readers are sure to enjoy. Baby Bookworm approved!” -The Baby Bookworm (read the whole review here)
