About This Book

Two books in one! Singalong story with combined activity pages.

Meet all 13 of our planets in this fun and colourful singalong to the tune of the classic nursery rhyme Baa, Baa, Black Sheep. 13 planets, can you name them all? 8 are big and 5 are small. Some of them are rocky, some are balls of gas. Come learn about their temper

Our Review

This engaging singalong book introduces young astronomers to all 13 planets in our solar system, cleverly set to the familiar tune of "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep." Through rhythmic verses and vibrant illustrations, children discover not just the eight main planets but also the five dwarf planets, including Pluto. The text playfully contrasts planetary characteristics—some rocky, some gaseous—in language preschoolers can grasp. This interactive approach to early science education makes complex astronomical concepts accessible through music and repetition.

What sets this educational book apart is its dual-purpose design, combining a musical story with hands-on activity pages that reinforce learning. The catchy planetary song creates multiple entry points for different learning styles, whether children respond better to auditory, visual, or kinesthetic input. Families seeking STEM-focused picture books will appreciate how it transforms planetary science into an interactive experience that encourages both singing and doing. This innovative format ensures the solar system lesson will stick long after the final verse.
