Review by Horn Book Review

With Jennifer Swanson. Planetary geologist Ehlmann and her cartoon superhero alter-ego, Dr. E, take readers on a tour of the solar system. The well-organized chapters each start with a two-page comic, then present the latest findings from planetary science research and space exploration. Also included are numerous profiles of contemporary and historical scientists, do-at-home experiments, diagrams, and photos of planets and space technology. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
