Why read it?

1 author picked The Kid Who Named Pluto as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I didn’t want to leave older children out of this list. This book would make a fantastic gift for a child who loves science but considers themselves “too old” for picture books. This beautifully illustrated chapter book features children who followed their curiosities and questions to real discoveries that helped the world! A very inspiring read.

From Andrea's list on math and science.
