Title: Good intro to the solar system from a Christian perspective
Review: Mr. Carroll does a good job of giving children some lessons about our solar system from a Christian perspective. The book is appropriate for 3rd to 5th graders to read to themselves, and as a read-to-me for ages 4 to 7.My only slight critcism is that Mr. Carroll misses several prime opportunities to integrate scientific data with the biblical emphasis that God formed the earth for man. For example, when talking about Jupiter, I would have liked Mr. Carroll to say something about the fact that Jupiter guards our vulnerable planet like a soldier in outer space, protecting us from meteor impacts which would destory life on Earth. I would also have liked him to talk more about the fine-tuning of the universe.But, overall, it's a good introduction to astronomy for young children that is written from an old-earth perspective.
