Read this to explain the solar system


Calvin is currently obsessed with Stars! Stars! Stars! by Bob Barner. It's a short book where the narrator wants to see some stars and planets. Somehow in under 140 words, Bob Barner manages to explain all the planets in the solar system, the fact that the sun is actually a star, and explain the big dipper, constellations and shooting stars while still rhyming.

I wasn't sure if this would be a fun book for a kid when I first bought it, but Calvin loves it, and even talks about Stars! Stars! Stars! when we're going about our day.
