ILooking for educational materials that do not include Pluto as a planet? We are now shipping our updated Solar System audio CD & Book. As you are likely aware, in accordance with a resolution by the International Astronomical Union on August 24, 2006, Pluto is no longer a planet because it “has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit."
Rock ’N Learn Solar System has been revised to reflect many other recent discoveries about our solar system, including this latest resolution by the IAU.
This new version features several improved photos from NASA and the Hubble Telescope and does not include Pluto as a planet. Instead, it acknowledges Pluto's status as a “dwarf planet” similar to Ceres and 2003 UB313. |

| Now that Pluto is no longer classified as a planet, people have suggested various ways to remember the order of the planets, including My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos. |

| Solar System – “Jam-packed with fascinating facts, Solar System is half science class, half musical fun. Filled with upbeat, rapping ditties about the stars and planets this CD is a lot of fun and will surprise you with its wealth of intriguing information. If your children have expressed an interest in the night sky and a curiosity about the solar system, they will really enjoy these songs and the great photos in the accompanying book.” –National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, 1998 |
|
| Solar System – “Rock and roll across the solar system with lyrics that teach specifics about the planets, e.g., sizes, rotations, moons, compositions, and more. Specialized vocabulary trips off the tongue while children quickly become experts on planetary facts and figures. –The Elementary School Library Collection, 1999 |
|
| Solar System – Future astronomers will enjoy rocking through this audio program and learning enjoyable planetary facts from the accompanying book. The eleven lively songs highlight our solar system, the Sun and each of the planets. The lyrics are catchy and full of factual, accurate scientific information. The vocals are clear and the book contains the written lyrics, graphs, and fact boxes. Numerous beautiful color photos from NASA are appropriately placed throughout the book. The program will not sit on the shelf for long. –School Library Journal Audiovisual Review, Jan. 1998 |
|
| Solar System – “These audio titles are great for kids who just can’t get enough science. Each features lyrics that are full of facts, but the rhymes do not seem forced and the tone remains factual even when they take a fun twist.” –Booklist, 1999 |
