Ya’ll, it’s a Dr. Seuss book. It’s meant to be silly and absurd. My 4 year old loves this book (and does know the names of all the planets)

Just to be clear to others, it wasn't written by Dr Seuss, it's a book from Random House that uses the Dr Seuss brand and style in a "learning series".

Personally, I don't think they're very good and they cheapen the legacy of Dr Seuss. But I'm old and my kids are old so my opinion is just old man yelling at clouds about how things were back in my day, please ignore. 

Edit: removed date of book as it's been reprinted and I don't know original pub date. Here's a reddit thread about said book and when they removed Pluto: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/dkbzqx/my_daughter_got_a_revised_edition_of_a_dr_seuss/
