Time to rewrite history.
Remember when scientists pulled a Regina George on Pluto in 2006 and were all “You can’t sit with us!”? That’s basically what this book is about.
“For the better part of forever, Pluto was a planet. One of the famous nine.”
We encounter Pluto just when he’s heard the news that he’s been kicked out of the group and he’s not a planet anymore. Pluto is devastated, and he feels stripped of his identity and sense of belonging. If he’s not a planet anymore, then what is he? We join Pluto on his quest through the solar system, filled with funny yet factual encounters with other space fixtures like asteroids and comets, before Pluto finally finds his new place in the galaxy as a proud dwarf planet.
The humor in this book will capture your little one’s attention so they will be ready to absorb all the fun facts that are naturally woven into the text. The final page helpfully outlines when and why Pluto was declassified as a planet so you can helpfully explain the revised criteria to your future astronaut.
