K-3Looking Glass Library: The Planets series.
Illustrated by
Scott Burroughs.
In this series, a girl or boy space traveler, accompanied by a pet dog or cat, undertakes a space mission to explore the title planet. The information, though selective, is succinct and easy to understand. Digital cartoon illustrations look 1950s retro-ish. Not a required purchase for libraries, but the format may engage readers to seek out meatier information. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Looking Glass Library: The Planets titles: Your Mission to Mars, Your Mission to Jupiter, Your Mission on Earth, and Your Mission to Mercury.
