The Trouble with Earth

by Alex Latimer (Author) Alex Latimer (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Why didn't the other planets invite Earth to their vacation? Soon they'll find out the wonderful truth about Earth's "fleas" and change their minds . . .

Earth turns up on the vacation she wasn't invited to and finds all the other planets in the solar system in the hot tub--even Pluto! Then she discovers exactly why: it looks like she has fleas! Yuck. Earth asks everyone to take a look inside her atmosphere, and they're amazed by what they see . . . birds, fish, creatures galore, and yes, even fleas.

The Trouble with Earth is the perfect story to teach us to be kind and less quick to judge others.

Review quotes

"Children will enjoy this cute U.K. import's thought-provoking, life-affirming, conservationist premise, expressed with breezy, rhyming verse; they'll also learn some very basic facts about the planets in the process."—Kirkus Reviews
