One of the Space Launch! titles from Weekly Reader for young readers.. Diagrams and photographs accompany the interesting text, answering basic questions and providing foundational information for young learners. A glossary follows the text, supporting reader learning and understanding. A strength of the series is the presentation of information in such a way as to capture the young reader’s interest

Young readers investigate the latest discoveries about Pluto, learn about its change in classification from planet to dwarf planet, and discover some other space objects found beyond Pluto’s orbit. Topics in this book include where is Pluto, the outer solar system, Pluto: a dwarf planet, dwarf planet facts, what’s the weather like, Pluto’s moons, the Kuiper Belt, and much, much more.

Highly recommended.
