AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Pluto is busy explaining his finest features when he gets the call that he is no longer considered a planet. So he takes the reader on a tour of the “real” planets. When he gets to the Sun, she gives him a very nice pep talk, because now the scientists talk about Pluto even more than they did before.
Leave it to Adam Rex to give us a hilarious look at the fall of Pluto and a nice overview of planets. Keller’s illustrations are the perfect accompaniment. Any school that teaches about the solar system can use this in their library.
