The planets' names carry secrets...

  • How is Neptune linked to hippopotamuses?
  • Which planet's name means Sky-Father?
  • Why did Pluto fail the planet test?
  • Why is Uranus not called George?
Read about the Gods and Goddesses that the planets are named after, discover how their names evolved from the language of ancient humans, and uncover hidden links from their names to familiar, commonly-used words.

At the same time, learn about the weird and whacky weather on other planets, compare their crazy day-and-night cycles to ours on Earth, and meet Pluto's new dwarf planet friends...

Beautifully illustrated with fun characters and full of fascinating tidbits, this book is perfect for curious kids and young adults alike.
