Our Earth is part of a fascinating planetary family - eight planets and an odd bunch of "cousins"that spin, roll, tilt and whirl around the Sun. Here, to the tune of "Over in the Meadow,"young ones get a glimpse of our remarkable neighborhood and its place in a very big universe. "If the Sun were a poet, then Going Around the Sun captures just what it would say to its beloved family of planets."- Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director, Hayden Planetarium, New York City. 32 pp.
