A story about planets on vacation teaches kindness and the downfalls of being quick to judge by appearances
 
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.
