Just Ok. Reading level is supposed to be 5th to 8th grade. There is an unexciting picture of Elon Musk giving a presentation about something in a large lecture hall. Makes going to Mars look over air-conditioned and boring.
A really fascinating study of the constructive and destructive forces controlling our earth. More importantly it gives insight into how the destructive ones can be predicted and then avoided. It would be good for anyone with curious mind who fears natural disasters of such kind.
This book is a really good resource for students who are trying to learn about specific aspects of this gaseous planet. It provides an in depth look at the planet itself. It talks about the planet as a whole, the atmosphere of the planet, and the rings and moons of Saturn. This book is most appropriate for grades 4-6 because of the advanced language it uses.
This book is informative, but I also feel like there was some useless information in it as well. I didn't find the book particularly interesting, but I did like the photos. For classroom use, I'd look for a different book about stars before I'd use this one.
