Red Rover: Curiosity on Mars

40 pp. | Roaring Brook | October, 2019 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-19833-4 $18.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Katherine Roy. An informative and surprisingly tender portrayal of NASA's most recent Mars rover. Poetic and personified text labels the rover as "curious," "thirsty," and even "lonely." Painterly illustrations are both scientifically accurate and emotive, often framing Curiosity as if for a portrait and subtly conveying human-like gestures. The narrator's reveal is a sweet surprise, enhancing this unusual space book's appeal. A detailed diagram of Curiosity, Mars facts, and additional information about Curiosity are appended. Websites. Bib.
