Space book for 4 yr old

[123LuckyMom]

I have royally confused my poor almost 4 year old boy! He knows dinosaurs are extinct because of a meteor. He knows there are planets. We took him to the Hayden Planetarium, and he thought he was going on a real rocket ship and became pretty terrified. I explained it was just pictures like a tv show, which did calm him down, but what was I thinking?! Shame on me! Anyway, he's now really confused about space, planets, the sun, earth, meteors, asteroids, constellations. He knows all this information, but it's completely jumbled up in his head. I need a really basic picture book about space. He'll definitely understand if it's explained in a book. Any suggestions? The books I've seen are all for older kids.

What got my son excited is a DVD -- Field Trip to the Planets

He also has this book, which is pretty basic:

But we just got our Scholastic Book fair information adn there are a couple of books I'm interested in:
3D Solar System! http://www.amazon.com/Thrillers-Sola...e+solar+system (Currently out of stock through Scholastic)

And Roger Priddy has two neat Space books:
Big and Busy Space: http://www.amazon.com/Busy-Space-cas...art+kids+space

Smart Kids Space: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Kids-Spa...art+kids+space

This one just came out a few days ago and I just got it for my 3.5 year old -- it's really nice:

Does he have a Leapfrog Tag reader? If so there is a Solar System book/activity set for the Tag that is really good. My DS is older than yours but he loves it and I think it would be appropriate for a 4 year old.
