Did you know that the planets are the original superheroes of myth and legend? This is the first book in the Playful Planets series. It teaches children the names of the planets and some of the myths and legends associated with them in a simple, colourful, and fun way. The planets introduce themselves, and watch a rocket ship from Earth fly through space. "They say they reach for the stars, but they only ever seem to get this far!" moans Marvin, the miserable man in the Moon. The original artwork brings the planets to life in true superhero fashion. Ideal for all inquisitive children aged 3-7.
