One day the Cat said, Today we will fly and see all the planets way up in the sky. There are eight planets that circle the sun. We can name them all and have lots of fun. First stop is the sun.

Look! Here we are! Have I told you that the sun is a star? Up in the sky it may look like a dot. When we get close, you can feel it is HOT! The first planet we see is closest to the sun. It is Mercury. It is the smallest one. We named one planet. Now what do we do? Now we blast off for planet number two! This planet is Venus.

It never rains here. It is dusty and dry every day of the year. This planet is Earth. We can easily see why it is called the Blue Planet. It is Planet Three. It has lots of oceans that make it look blue.

I love this planet! I bet you do, too! Now we will fly way up past some stars to the next planet, the one we call Mars. I know that Mars is the Red Planet, Nick said. And I can see why. It really is red! Jupiter, the Cat said, is fifth from the sun. As you can see, its the biggest one. We can see it is big when we fly beside it.

The other planets could all fit inside it! This planet is Saturn. We can see two things. Its the second biggest and it has bright rings. It is the sixth planet. There are only two more. Oh! I think space is such fun to explore! Next is Uranus (YUR-uh-nus).

It has rings, too. There is just one planet left to show you. This planet is Neptune. It is Planet Eight. We did it! Hooray! This name game is great! We named them all. Our name game is fun.

We can do it again and start with Planet One!
