Pick of the Week- The Pluto Files

is The Pluto Files by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Informative and funny, this book tells the story of Pluto from its discovery to its demotion to dwarf planet. It is littered with comics, illustrations, and solid science and history of Pluto. Aside from the comics, the writing is also funny and engaging. For example, Tyson points out that we could save on packaging materials if we used spherical containers, "...but practical matters prevail. Spheres don't pack or stack well and nobody wants to chase packaged goods down the aisle after it rolls off the shelves. We already do this for apples and oranges." You will chuckle at the dry humor while learning about the solar system.
