Our Thoughts:
When Pluto gets the call about no longer being an actual planet, his feelings are quite hurt and he takes us on a journey through our solar system to meet every true planet, from Jupiter to Mercury, spreading his dreadful news. Pluto introduces us to each planet and explains their identifying features to us. Each planet has its own personality. We even get to meet the sun!
Have you ever wondered what Pluto thinks about not being a planet anymore? This cute, fact-filled picture book gives us a look into Pluto's feelings and emotions about the matter in a humorous way. He's so downtrodden that he takes us to see 'real' planets, giving us lots of factual information about each of them.
