What lies beyond Mars, where planets become enormous and moons can hide oceans beneath their frozen surfaces?
Among Giant Worlds carries young explorers into the magnificent outer solar system. Travel past Jupiter's colossal storms, through Saturn's glittering rings, around tilted Uranus, and into the fierce winds of distant Neptune.
Readers will discover what separates gas giants from ice giants, how planetary rings form, why Jupiter's Great Red Spot has lasted for centuries, and how moons such as Europa, Titan, Enceladus, Io, Miranda, and Triton became some of the most fascinating worlds scientists have ever studied.
Clear explanations and striking visuals introduce magnetic fields, orbital resonance, tidal heating, hidden oceans, icy volcanoes, and the remarkable spacecraft that revealed these distant worlds-including Voyager, Galileo, Juno, Cassini, and Huygens.
Designed for curious readers ages 5-8, this visual science encyclopedia brings astronomy, physics, geology, and space exploration together in an unforgettable journey among the giants.
The solar system becomes stranger, colder, and more astonishing with every page.
STEM Learning ExperienceAmong Giant Worlds supports early STEM learning by helping children:
- Distinguish gas giants Jupiter and Saturn from ice giants Uranus and Neptune.

- Examine evidence for hidden oceans on Europa, Ganymede, Enceladus, Titan, and other moons.
- Understand how flybys, orbiters, atmospheric probes, and landers gather different types of evidence.
- Separate direct observations from scientific models and evidence-based possibilities.
