MY THOUGHTS
What fun and how interesting it is for adults and little ones to travel to different worlds, that including planets. I know that I learned a lot through reading all of Ms. Roman's books. In this one I learned that a year on Mars last 1.88 Earth years and a day is a little more than 24 hours. I was amazed that after the sun burns off the frost in the morning, the humidity is 100% which meant lots of moisture and clouds. There are many things to learn along with new words. Those words have their pronunciation in parenthesis. Also there is a glossary of words at the end of the book. You are given wonderful illustrations that are colorful and go along with the story. You see children in space suits playing games. I learned that the two moons on Mars are named Deimos and Phobos, named after Greek gods. There is so much to learn in this book and it isn't just for children. Adults can always learn new things all the time. It's always interesting to learn of new places and their differences to our world. The Red Planet might be a real interesting place to live but I don't see that in the near future. It is nice to dream and imagine being there in an everyday setting.
This is another of Ms. Roman's books to put on the shelf to be read and re-read for a long time to come.
So grab a copy and find out what it would be like, If You Were Me and Lived on ....Mars!
I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily decided to review it.
I would give this book 5 STARS.
