Review Quotes: "Engages [readers] with the kinds of facts that kids love: Mars is a planet that has two moons, blue sunsets, a canyon as wide as the entire United States, extreme dust storms, and ground that is potentially poisonous. . . . Colorful, playful llustrations and simple text make this a pleasing introduction to outer space."--School Library Journal "November 1, 2021"
