Pluto is Peeved by Jacqueline Jules
Picture books can be a great way to introduce social and scientific concepts to young readers. They allow kids to engage with the text and concepts at their own level. These two picture books address the same topic: Pluto's demotion from planetary status. Pluto is Peeved takes more of a social angle. Jules's Pluto goes through a museum, comparing itself to other planets and feeling as if it no longer matters. A Place for Pluto is more scientific, examining how we define a planet, the ways in which Pluto fails that definition, and the other space objects that have a similar status in our solar system.
More information: A Place for Pluto releases July 1.
