This is a wonderful book for preschoolers. There is not much text here. Basically the song is repeated twice, with text bubbles advising you where to place the many colorful and durable stickers depicting the planets, a shooting star, a rocket and various other solar system-y things. It is very funny and educational for your children.

Seeds for "Blue's Clues" were planted with the idea of creating a game show for preschoolers.
After the concept evolved into the story of a curious puppy named Blue, millions of kids have learned basic communication, problem-solving and interaction skills from Blue, her owners and their friends. To celebrate the show's 10th anniversary, creators are adding to the family, giving Blue a baby brother who will be introduced in an hourlong special premiering Aug. 6 on Nickelodeon.
Creators Traci Paige Johnson, Angela C. Santomero and Todd Kessler took Brown Johnson's game-show idea and delivered a concept that included activities to fit the skills possessed by 2- to 5- year-olds and animation with a 'picture book' look they would be familiar with from daily life.
"When I was in college they would do 'Schoolhouse Rock' live, and I'm looking forward to when I'm 60 and a college invites me to do 'Blue's Clues' live," says Traci Paige Johnson, who enjoys seeing the "impact we're having on generations of preschoolers."

Blue and Steve skidoo to the planets and need help identifying them! This book, like all Blue's Clues books, uses our cognitive-based thinking skills and science curricula. It introduces children to the planets and their places in the solar system. The Blue's Clues mission is to empower, challenge, and build the self-esteem of preschoolers. We hope this book helps you and your child realize these goals!

My father turned 51 this September, a month and a half before his first grandchild, my daughter, turned 2. When I was a child, he spent hours with my sister and I star-gazing, taking us to the planetarium, talking, thinking, breathing astronomy. I was 8 when the Right Stuff came out in theaters, and yet my 6 year old sister and I saw it on the big screen, even so young. So, this birthday, what better gift to give him than a copy of that movie on DVD and a not-so-subtle invitation for him to help make my daughter as starry-eyed as I am. My daughter already loved Blues Clues, and this book is fantastic in its simplicity. She identifies easily with the characters, the text is simple enough for her to remember and it may even be among the first books she actually reads herself, plus my father gets so much joy from reading it with her, helping her to pronounce the planets' names. It IS simple, and might, if it weren't for the Colorforms stickers, but TOO simple for a 3 or 4 year old, but it is absolutely perfect for my 2 year old. She and my father give it a "two thumbs up". Also, for the record, as near as I can tell, Colorforms have never been out of production. I could be wrong, but I'm sure that colorforms were available all through the 80's, since many popular 80's cartoons have special Colorforms sets. There may have been a dryspell in the 90's, but I also know that as long ago as 1999 or 2000 new character sets of colorforms were popping up all over the place, and dozens are now available. |

My son is a huge fan of Blue's Clues and he's also fascinated by the solar system. We were both really excited when we found Blue Skidoos to the Planets because he loved the episode of the show. He couldn't wait to get home and put the stickers in the book. He is able to read the entire book by himself and he can sing the song, too. He's only six, but he can name all of the planets thanks to this book. Thank you Steve and Blue for being such wonderful friends to preschoolers! |
