This book has fun and interesting information for any age readers. It also has great color pictures of the planet and moons!

Some of Jupiter's zones are discussed as well as the planets statistics compared to Earth. There are nice pictures of the 4 Galilean moons.The Red spot a gigantic storm twice the size of earth is shown from the Galileo spacecraft 1996. Some of Jupiter's minor moons and diffuse rings are mentioned.

Destination Jupiter is a great kids book 5-8 years old for kids to increase their reading pleasure or a great book for parents to read and show the pictures to the little ones. Plus the kids will learn a little about Jupiter too.

This was a Christmas present for our 5 yr old who has recently discovered the thrill of our solar system. He reads it continually and has many of Seymour Simon's other books about our solar system. He loves them so much and has started sharing them with some of his friends. He constantly relates planetary trivia to me which shows me that he's not just looking at the pictures.

This Jupiter book is written incredibly well. I'm amazed at how Seymour Simon can speak to a 5 yr old and adults. The artwork and photographs within the book are incredible. I love this and all of Mr. Simon's books we've seen so far. I highly recommend this as a reading tool for any kid that is interested in planets or space in general. If they love the book, they'll keep reading!
