Venus — Mari C. Schuh

Venus—hot and cloudy. Developing readers learn about the rocky planet's key features in this low—level search—and—find beginning reader. Venus isn't the closest to the sun, but thanks to its thick clouds that trap heat, it's the hottest! This rocky planet has a large, iron core and looks like a bright star in the night sky. Early readers discover new vocabulary about the second planet in our solar system, including facts about its geography, atmosphere, and a spacecraft that once studied it. A search—and—find feature reinforces new concepts to build reading success while close—up images captivate young astronomers. A great early STEM book to inspire science learning for kindergartners and first graders.
