Items related to Meet the Planets (Arbordale Collection)
Soar into the Solar System to witness the first Favorite Planet Competition, emceed by none other than the former-ninth planet, now known as dwarf planet Pluto. The readers become the judges after the sun can't pick a favorite and the meteors leave for a shower. Who will the lucky winning planet be? Could it be speedy-messenger Mercury, light-on-his-feet Saturn, or smoking-hot Venus? Readers learn all about each planet as Pluto announces them with short, tongue-in-cheek facts. Children will spend hours searching the art for all the references to famous scientists and people of history, space technology, constellations, art, and classic literature.

Review:
The breezy, unconventional approach makes this a promisingly engaging way to introduce, or re-introduce, our celestial neighbors.- School Library Journal
Although not a -hard science- book about the planets, this fun romp will engage students as to how the planets have shaped human art, history, architecture, mythology, and religion. - Library Media Connection
A simple introduction to our solar system for very young audiences, this appealing little book should be a big hit with the lower elementary grade levels. The illustrations are cute and colorful. The text contains interesting facts that are appropriate for first and second graders. - Science Books & Films
