    About this ebook

    Pluto got the shock of his life when he was kicked out of the famous nine. His planet status was stripped away, leaving him lost and confused. Poor Pluto! On his quest to find a place where he belongs, he talks to comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. He doesn't fit it anywhere! But when Pluto is about to give up, he runs into a dwarf planet and finally finds his place in the solar system. This feel-good picture book combines a popular science topic with character education themes of self discovery, acceptance, and friendship. It has bonus material in the back matter to support curriculum.

      Pluto is a planet. One of the nine, no matter what they science-y guys say. My brain understands why it was demoted, but, in the case of Pluto my heart decides to override my brain. Pluto is a planet. Full one. Full Stop.Needless to say, I loved this book. Pluto is trying to find his place in the solar system now that he is no longer one of the planets, and through that journey we learn all about the non-planet parts of the solar system (there are many, and in a whole lot of ways they're even cooler than the planets, I mean, c'mon, how our own Moon was made, amazing!)I loved it when the planets gave Plut a cake, ooh, and all the puns and slightly lame jokes were great too. I just have one small problem with the asteroids, yes, a lot of them are rock, but, there is a kind that is metallic too.It was a fun book, especially for those of us who are still very attached to Pluto.I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Capstone.

      I grew up learning the names of the nine planets. Imagine my surprise when I was told that Pluto was not longer a planet, my nmemonic device was no longer correct. I really enjoyed this book and so did my grandson, my granddaughter, not so much. Stef Wade gives information about the solar system as a whole and some things in it such as comets, asteroids, meteroroid, dwarf planets and more. She does all this with great illustrations to show children what some of these things look like. Along with the science information, there is a message about liking yourself, being comfortable with who you are and wanting to belong. He finally finds his niche with the other dwarf planets, but still keeps his planet friends. A great book for a home, classroom, school or public library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

      Having been kicked out of the planet club, Pluto wanders around the solar system trying to figure out where he now fits in. Cute but not enough to appease us in the #plutoisaplanet crowd. Pluto needs to be grandfathered back into planet status!
