Editorial Reviews

This easy-to-read nonfiction book is stuffed with amazing photographs, entertaining illustrations and a wide range of information about Mars. Any child researching the planet will find this book to be a solid resource. The layout is rather choppy, though, and the book is lacking a table of contents, an index or a glossary. One must leaf through each page in order to locate any specific information. Despite this drawback, the book is loaded with facts a child will need for research purposes, and it is worth the effort to leaf through each page.
