My son has great interest about planets and space. He got a few books and DVDs. He read his books on this topic everyday, so I'm looking for more books suitable for his age (5 years old). Can anyone give me some advice.

It has turned into a spaceship! Ms. Frizzle and her class are on their way to the Moon and beyond!
Join Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen as they take you on the most outrageous exploration of the solar system ever. It's one small step on the gas pedal for the Friz, one giant leap of the imagination for the rest of us.
The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System (Magic School Bus (Paperback)) Review:
The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System is one is a series of science adventure books by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen (Illustrator), all of which are trulky excellent. The chart the adventures of Ms. Frizzle and her class as they go on some really interesting field trips.
The books operate on several levels. They work as adventure stories as the manner in which they get diverted from an ordinary school field trip to the adventure at hand is always entertaining. The illustrations are truly wonderful and add to the story line very effectively. The books do in fact contain a lot of basic information about the topic at hand, so your kids are actually learning something as they read. And, as a final bonus, the books always involve some sore of class socialization issue, so your kids are exposed to some real life classroom issue, (here it's a Miss know-it-all type) and strategies for dealing with them as well. On top of all that, the books are just plain fun.
A great series for late pre-schoolers and early elementary age kids. So, what are you waing for? Jump on the Magic School Bus and have some fun!!!
