The Trouble With Earth

Learn to be kind with award-winning Alex Latimer's The Trouble With Earth, when our planet is cruelly excluded from the Solar System annual holiday.

Why didn't the other planets invite Earth to their holiday? Soon they'll find out the wonderful truth about Earth's 'fleas' and change their minds... When Earth turns up on the holiday she wasn't invited to and finds all the other planets in the solar system in the hut tub - even Pluto! - she discovers exactly why: it looks like she has FLEAS! Yuck. But when Earth asks everyone to take a closer look inside her atmosphere, they're amazed at what they see... Award-winning Alex Latimer's The Trouble With Earth is the perfect story to teach us to be kinder to others.
