This book shows another type of diversity that is often overlooked- physical disabilities. This book can make kids who share a similar disability feel less alone and like they‘re understood.

“Mercury is the planet closest to the sun. It is the smallest of the eight big planets.”

I‘m fascinated by space and learning about it, and I feel like a lot of kids, especially girls, shy away from that topic because they think it‘s too hard or not girly, so I would encourage kids to read this.

I think it‘s really important to be able to hand kids books about complex topics and have them discover things themselves. This book allows it to be understood at a child‘s level but also has big ideas in it.

“Ulysses S. Grant made Christmas a federal holiday.”

This book is so adorable. I would definitely use it to teach young students about past presidents.

I love the book and the movie. It has such a great message formatted for children in a great way.

I love how this ties in the idea of conservation of the planet with rhymes and an alternate universe to prevent kids from being scared but making it realistic. The characters are so fascinating in all of Dr. Seuss‘s books.

I love this book! I got it as a kindergarten graduation present that was meant to be a reference when I graduated high school. I read it once I graduated and it choked me up because the message is so inspiring, more-so than young children understand their first time reading it.
