Download or read book How Does Uranus Smell written by Phineas Bottom and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have a favorite planet. Some people like Mars (for the potatoes?). Mars is nice. Uranus is better than Mars. Some people like the massive planet Jupiter. Jupiter is fine, but I'm glad Uranus isn't as big as Jupiter. Some people even like Pluto and while many people question the legitimacy of Pluto, it's safe to say that everyone agrees that Uranus is definitely legit. This book has so many facts (like at least 20) that you may think we visited this mysterious blue planet, but I can assure you that very few people (none) have been to Uranus. I have, however, seen Uranus and it's magnificent. This book makes a great gift for the person in your life who is really into Uranus. I will warn you though, Uranus is addictive and once you start learning facts (and saying them out loud and snickering like a third grader) you'll understand why everybody loves Uranus.
