(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Nash. A whimsical science-fiction story describes a Martian crew's search for alien life. After fruitless visits to seven planets, the Martians land on Orb Three and befriend the waddling, tuxedoed natives--known as penguins to us earthlings. Watercolor and pencil illustrations featuring friendly-looking Martians accompany the rhyming tale. Factual notes about each planet and the asteroid belt are included.
