Review: MOVING TO MARS by Stef Wade

Review of Children Picture Book of Space

I totally adored the author's delightful earlier picture book, A PLACE FOR PLUTO, and MOVING TO MARS is equally exciting and fun. Poor Mars is reclusive and solitary, but exploratory devices start visiting it. It's tried to diligently ignore its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, but now here are all these machines poking and prodding. It's annoying plus it tickles! But suddenly, once all the visitors are gone, Mars thinks it might just be a little lonely, and starts figuring out how best to attract humans!
