(4) K-3 Pebble Plus: Exploring the Galaxy series. The text explains some characteristics of Pluto and, in this revised and updated edition, Pluto's recent reclassification. Though the definitions can be vague ("Dwarf planets are round objects that move around the Sun. Dwarf planets are too small to be planets"), simple vocabulary and sentence structures make the writing accessible. Striking photographs help illustrate the science. Reading list. Glos., ind.
