In August 1989, the Voyager 2 spacecraft became the first and so far only spacecraft to visit and explore the planet Neptune. The author presents a brief, non-technical summary of the mission to Neptune and the findings from this mission. The book is loaded with many high quality photos of the planet, its rings, and its minor moons. The book also contains a good deal of information on Neptune's largest moon Triton. While this maybe a children's book, I feel that many adults would find it interesting as well.

Alas another kids book. Not very detailed for this amateur astronomer. Some of the pictures were good, maybe 3 or 4 star. No real detailed reference information. I have seen Neptune many times with my telescope and would like detailed information on the planet without PHD math. Big print to fill up pages so little is said. I did learn a few things but not a good reference book. This book is for grade school kids, parents showing nice pictures and reading to their kids or the very beginner in Astronomy. Will give this book to my nephew for his mom to read to him after I find a more detailed reference book on Neptune. Please Simon can you also write about the planets for grownups wanting more detailed information.

Neptune is a good book. Lots of info and great pictures.Simon has done it again!
