Neptune- Non-fiction


Neptune
by Seymour Simon

In the book, the author compiled photographs taken of Neptune by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. After finding that out, I did some research, googling really, to find out that the Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft to visit and explore the planet Neptune. The author presents a short and precise summary of the mission to Neptune and the discoveries made during the course of the mission. The book contains several vivid photos of the planet, its rings, and its minor moons. The book also spotlights information on Triton, Neptune's largest moon. The would be a great book to use to not only build literacy skills, but also enlighten students with knowledge of the planet and intergreate science with literature.
