• National Geographic Kids First Big Book of Space

• There's No Place Like Space: All About Our Solar System (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) (best seller)

• Learning Resources Inflatable Solar System - This is really fun and the students quickly grasp the concept. They also like playing football with them if your back is turned :-)
