Hello World: Solar System by Jill McDonald is a NF-RA/CR picture book that teaches children all about the solar system with interesting facts about each planet. UDL 1.1 (offer ways of customizing the display of information) and EL 4 (link lesson topic to students prior knowledge) are great strategies to use. #UCFLAE3414SP21 This website is a great resource to accompany a lesson about the solar system https://www.planetsforkids.org

PatriciaS Great science 👍 picture book 📖 for introducing new concepts and science vocabulary words, great inspiration for young children and great review and resource activities 4y
DrSpalding This is certainly nonfiction and certainly a wonderful book to use in science. Discipline specific vocabulary is vital for student comprehension. 4y

Colorful, bright, and easy to understand, this board book is a good intro to solar system facts for the littlest kids. I've read some of the criticisms of it - Pluto is included as a dwarf planet, but the other dwarf planets aren't - and I don't find issue with it. Pluto is easily the best known dwarf planet, and many adults include it as a planet in discussions of the solar system, which is probably why it was mentioned. A fun, basic intro.

AlaMich Have you broken the bad news about Pluto to him yet? Nah, better wait til he‘s older...😔😉 6y
Zelma I will never accept that Pluto is not a planet. 😉 6y
lauren.lerner What I liked most about this book was that Pluto is included as a dead planet, it‘s new designation. But to me, Pluto will always be a planet!! @AlaMich @Zelma 6y

I'm going to shamelessly post pictures of my daughter with books today. I like this super simple intro to astronomy. The pictures are bright and fun to look at while the text is short and sweet. #yslibrarian #bookgrub #earlyliteracy
