Mercury
Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun, is also the smallest, densest, and least explored of the terrestrial planets. Author Kim O'Connell examines this heavily cratered and fast-moving planet that was known by the ancients but still offers scientists much to discover. The Messenger mission, only the second mission to Mercury, will enter the planet's orbit in 2011.

Solar System series. Following several pages listing relevant websites that can be accessed through the publishers own site, these books survey the sun and several planets in the solar system. The texts are so brief and jump around so frequently that ultimately little useful information is disseminated. The crowded pages, designed to resemble web pages and featuring blurry screen shots, further mar these books. Reading list. Ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2006
