The features of this
book that make it science fiction are the aspects that involve space travel and
animals in space. The author creates new planets, one for dogs and one for
cats. The book has other science fiction aspects such as aliens. While the main
characters, T.D. and Helen, help their dog save the Planet of Dogs, they learn
about the solar system. Although there are some planets and aliens that make
the book science fiction, there is also parts of the book that teach children
about the real solar system.
I love that this book teaches about the solar system as well as being just a cute book! Great choice.
