We went through a really long planet/outer space phase here. We made a model of the solar system (painting styrofoam balls in various sizes the right colors, etc.) that is still hanging from the ceiling though mars and venus fell off long ago.

My son really loves this book and even I learned some things (we've got more planets than I knew among other things):

This is an excellent book, my boys loved it as well! Isn't it funny how we have more planets.. and technically less planets, at the same time? lol

ETA: hehehe.. and YOU have even less planets.. poor mars & venus LOL
