Space has been our favorite unit this year, by far. There are so many space and planet resources available to preschoolers, and books are no exception. I ordered more books than usual for this study, and I’m glad I did. Every book in this list offered something unique, from engaging stories with good lessons, to informative books that teach your child about each planet.
