Learning about the solar system is always a fun and interesting topic. As we all know the same acronym My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles... what other acronyms can i use? 

Here is an acronym you could use: My very eager mother just sang us NSYNC. 

Many very excited monkeys just slurped up noodles! This is the acronym I use. Hope this helps. You could also make this cross curricular and include english into your science lesson/ acroynms. (excited= adjective, monkeys= noun, etc.)

There are a slew of good book you can use includung The Astronaut's Handbook, Solar System Forecast.  The latter is great for bringing space back home.  My kids have also liked Happy Birthday,  Curiosity, and Curiosity, the Story of a Mars Rover

Look at NSTA's outstanding trade books and STEM book lists.  You will find some gems.  And don't forget about Storytime from Space!  Especially with the ISS's 20th fast approaching
