What is The trouble with Earth about?
Earth is excited to join the other planets on their annual holiday, but she soon discovers why she was left off the guest list: the other planets think she has fleas! Earth invites them to look beneath her atmosphere, where they find forests, oceans, animals and people instead. As the planets learn more about Earth’s amazing life, they begin to see her in a completely different way. A funny, imaginative story celebrating our extraordinary home and all the creatures who share it.
