Overview

Planea por el Sistema Solar para atestiguar el primer concurso de planeta favorito, presentado nada más y nada menos que por el antiguo noveno planeta, ahora conocido como Plutón, el planeta enano. Los lectores serán los jueces ya que el sol no puede seleccionar a un favorito y los meteoros se van a dejar una estela. ¿Cuál será el planeta ganador afortunado? ¿Podría ser el mensajero rápido Mercurio; o ""luz en sus pies"", Saturno; o el calientehumeante, Venus? Los lectores aprenderán todo acerca de cada planeta cuando Plutón les anuncie los hechos en formas cortas, irónicas. Los niños pasarán horas buscando el arte en todas las referencias de los científicos famosos y de la gente de la historia; de la tecnología espacial, de las constelaciones, del arte, y de la literatura clásica.
