Shannon’s Thoughts:
Young planet Earth is looking for a friend and even though space is full of other planets not many are friendly. The other planets are not only unfriendly but also just plain mean. They don’t like Earth because she is different. All of this makes Earth sad and lonely. She loses hope she will ever find a friend.

The story is written in a cute poem that rhymes. It is sad that Earth is so lonely and that the planets want nothing to do with her but even in its melancholy way it is still adorable. I do love that even though the other planets do not like her differences she still likes herself just the same.

I can’t help but believe if the planets could talk to each other they would not be a mean as they are to Earth just because she was not like them. I would like to see a sequel where all the planets realize they are wrong and become friends with Earth.

Children will enjoy the Earth’s interaction with other planets as they learn different tidbits like Mercury being dry and Venus is hot. It is a nice story with a happy ending.
