This is an adventure at the speed of light, filled with exciting sounds, great music, and solid science.
Listened and followed along to this story with my baby brother. The cassette is long gone, but still have the book. Now sharing it with my kids. ♡♡
Would you listen to Adventures in the Solar System again? Why?
I plan on listening again MANY times. Useful information about the planets, super cool sound effects, neat narration. This is an undiscovered gem!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked the child narrator the best. It's unusual, I think, for children to narrate books but I think it's very effective.
Did Geoffrey T. Williams do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
All the characters are very different, so yes. There is child named WIll. He jumps into a robot called Planetron, which is also a spaceship. That is an older man's voice. There is a spunky female robot who is the data system for the ship. There are Will's parents, briefly. The robot/data system's voices have some sort of sound effect over them to make them sound more robo
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A tour of the planets
Any additional comments?
Just that this is awesome. Held the attention of both the 6 year old, but also the 3 year old. Even if the smaller children can't concentrate on the narration about the methane concentration on Jupiter, they will like the cool sound effects, etc.
There is a small sort of bell sound that is somewhat distracting at times, but did not bother me; I think it is probably a signal to turn a page on a physical book. In any event, it did not bother us.
Any additional comments?
Great special effects, good storyline, and I learned a lot about our Solar System, without being bored. 2 thumbs UP!
