Description:

In this lively nonfiction picture book, the second planet from the Sun introduces herself — and she has plenty to brag about. Narrated in Venus's own playful, self-assured voice, the book mixes real planetary science with cheeky humour as Venus shows off everything that makes her one of a kind: a scorching, cloud-smothered atmosphere hotter than Mercury's, a day that lasts longer than her year, and a backwards spin that sends the Sun rising in the west. With no moons and no rings, she dances entirely to her own rhythm. Stacy McAnulty's witty narration and Stevie Lewis's bright, characterful illustrations make the facts genuinely memorable, while a closing quiz and statistics page round things off. Part of the popular Our Universe series, it's a fun, fact-packed way to spark young readers' curiosity about space
