Are
any of you as interested in Pluto losing its status as a planet and
forevermore being known as a dwarf planet as we are? Although it
happened six years ago, we still are a little disappointed on Pluto's
behalf. But, there is some good to come from Pluto's downgrade! Someone
(Steve Metzger, specifically) wrote a new children's book about it that
includes a lesson about self-acceptance in the story, too. Pluto Visits Earth! written by: Steve Metzger and illustrated by: Jared Lee (E METZGER) is
a whimsical book that starts with Pluto planning to visit Earth because
it is very upset about it's new diminished planetary status. Along the
way, Pluto learns that you have to love yourself, no matter if others
are bigger than you or what they may say about you. Not a bad lesson to learn, for both planets and humans! As always with new books, if it is
not checked out, it will either be on the shelf (E METZGER) or on the new books display. If
you're interested in more information about Pluto's new plantetary
status, here are a few children's non-fiction books to check out: Pluto: from planet to dwarf by: Elaine Landau (J 523.482 LANDAU) and When is a planet not a planet? by: Elaine Scott (J 523.482 SCOTT.
