WHY WE LOVE IT
Mercury may be the smallest planet, but it gives children the chance to explore some very big questions. They can learn why planets are different, why Mercury has so many craters and what it is like to be so close to the Sun.
We also love that the series focuses on one space topic at a time. Children can learn about Mercury first and then explore the other planets and the Solar System through the collection.
It is a lovely early introduction to astronomy, science and the wonder of space.
