Pluto Gets the Call
by Adam Rex (Author) and Laurie Keller (Illustrator)
Booktalk: Pluto loves being a planet. That is, until the day he gets a call from some Earth scientists telling him he isn’t a planet anymore! You probably wanted to meet a real planet, huh? Join Pluto as he takes you on a journey through the solar system to introduce the other planets (who commiserate about his situation).

FYI: “‘I am here to tell you, as the NASA administrator, I believe Pluto is a planet,’ said Bridenstine during a keynote on the final day of the International Astronautical Congress in Washington, D.C. on October 25.”
