Pluto Visits Earth!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jared D. Lee. When Pluto learns that astronomers have changed his status to dwarf planet, he's furious and races down to earth. The scientists explain their new definition to him, but it takes a child reassuring him that he's still special to send him home happy. Although facts about the solar system are included, the story, accompanied by sketchlike cartoon illustrations, is weak.
