"A fun and humorous take on introducing the solar system and the varied planets within to a very young audience." --C.F. Payne, artist-illustrator, Mousetronaut
"Very highly recommended for family, preschool, elementary school, and community library children's books collections, and perfect as a 'read aloud' nap-time or bed-time book." --Midwest Book Review
"A lovely fusion of fact and fancy, little stars will want to fall asleep with the solar system night after night." --Michelle Schingler, Foreword Reviews
"A splash of fantasy with a dash of fact, this bedtime book about the solar system will have your little one blasting off into outer space from the comforts of your cozy bed!" --Regina LaCaruba, diapers-and-daydreams.com
