Pluto, a small icy world in the distant Kuiper Belt, carries a heart-shaped, nitrogen-ice plain called Tombaugh Regio across its reddish-brown surface. It's so far from the Sun that a single orbit takes 248 Earth years.
Reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, Pluto still fascinates young learners with its five moons, led by the relatively giant Charon. This unlabelled version invites kids to write in the name as they explore.
Recognizable,
not simply decorative.
The same hand-drawn look across the whole collection — verified against the real species, animal by animal.
“Beautiful enough to invite a closer look. Accurate enough to support real learning.”
Our animals are illustrated with the real species in mind. We look closely at body proportions, characteristic markings, feet, horns, ears, tails and the features that distinguish one species from another.
The illustrations remain warm and approachable, but they are not turned into generic cartoon animals.

Pluto has five known moons, the largest being Charon, which is about half of Pluto's own size, making them almost a double-dwarf-planet system that orbits a shared point in space. The other four moons, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra, are much smaller and irregularly shaped.
Pluto's surface temperature averages around -230°C, cold enough for nitrogen and methane to freeze solid onto its surface as ice and frost. Its distance from the Sun means it receives only a tiny fraction of the sunlight and warmth that Earth does.
Yes, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto in July 2015, providing the first close-up images and data, revealing mountains of water ice and a heart-shaped plain now called Tombaugh Regio. It remains the only spacecraft to have visited Pluto to date.
