IRA-CBC Children's Choices 2010 A good beginning look at the special features that make Earth our home.--Kirkus Reviews Closing with a Peaceable Kingdom scene, this sends a clear but not heavy message to younger readers about how lucky we are to have such a home, and how important it is to keep it in good condition. The pictures, the brief text, and the specific but digestible details will pull in Gail Gibbons fans.--Booklist The segment on environmental awareness is clear, simple, and thankfully, not panic-generating. Suggestions for student involvement are realistic. What's So Special About Planet Earth is an excellent read-aloud for primary students and would be quite accessible for students to read to themselves as well.--National Science Teachers Association The text is large, easy to read, and suitable for lower elementary school age children. The author doesn't get carried away with too much detail about each planet, an approach that keeps the message of the book clear.--Science Books & Film This is a book that will entertain as well as inform.--Library Media Connection Useful as an introduction to planet research, the book will work as a read-aloud or for independent reading.--School Library Journal Well's playfully informative pen and acrylic illustrations support the premise that there's no place like home--and we should protect that place.--The Horn Book Guide
