hi,

my son (4yrs) is interest in the solar system after my wife bought him a pictorial book on the planets. Now he wants to know more.

I am very new to this field and due to his age I will have to read to him most of the time. Is there suitable book that is suitable for him ?

I also thot of bring him to join in for observation session at science center (near to home). Were there any one there to guide him or he is just young for it ?

thanks in advance .. guanhong

I just happened to see on Wednesday a well-illustrated book on the solar system that was specially written for children at the bargain corner in Borders.

cheers

You can go to the NLB, there are a lot of books about solar system and its planets and it is good for young kid. My son had borrowed many of them in the past (about 7 yrs old then).
