Pluto's Secret: An Icy World's Tale of Discovery by Margaret A. Weitekamp

4.0

The fascinating story of the mysterious Pluto, the used-to-be ninth planet of our solar system. The sketchy illustrations aren't heavy weight, but this little book contains some interesting facts that are easy for a five year old to assimilate. Even I learned some things in the process, as things like the Kuiper Belt had not been discovered back when I went to school. This is the story about how Pluto was discovered, why it is different, and why it was finally demoted from it's planet status. I will be looking forward to learn new things about Pluto when the New Horizons Spacecraft finally reaches it in 2015.
