Review
Simon has won awards for both his nonfiction and fiction books. Exoplanets is nonfiction and aged for ages 6-10, but I think it could easily go higher. This book uses the analogy of Goldie Locks to exoplanets by comparing the planet Earth to Goldie. We are in the "just right" location to sustain life, scientists are looking for more Goldie Locks planets. The photos of space are beautiful. The book includes a glossary, index, and a read more about it web address section. This is a great book to introduce or reinforce space concepts.
Overall Book Score: very good
