Venus!: Fierce and Fabulous

Gr 1-3–In the same vein as Our Solar System! A Stellar Neighborhood in the “Our Universe” series, McAnulty and Lewis turn their humorous and informative focus to that glamorous and unique neighbor, Venus. Crushingly fabulous the planet herself tells of her atmosphere that would, due to its density, flatten a human being should one ever try to visit her. Her blazing hot temperatures (hottest in the solar system) and the allure that she has had for people on Earth since time immemorial are shared with just the right balance of cheeky self-assuredness. Illustrations add to the humor and understanding of our size “twinsie” in the sky. Venus’s interesting features, combined with her well-deserved spunkiness will delight casual readers and those fans of planet facts looking for a closer peek at the second planet from the sun.
