Review Quotes:
Venus's interesting features, combined with her well-deserved spunkiness, will delight both casual readers and those fans of planet facts looking for a closer peek at the second planet from the sun. . . libraries should definitely give Venus her well-deserved spot on the shelves. Highly recommended.-starred review, School Library Journal
An introduction to Venus that shows the planet at her most verbally and visually vivacious.-Kirkus Reviews
