Review

Seymour Simon brings his extensive scientific knowledge as well as his understanding of elementary students' interest levels to this updated and revised edition of his previous book on Mars. The information is presented in a way that will appeal to young writers but is so scientifically based that it will also appeal to older students as well as adults. The large and incredibly detailed photos add updated information to Simon's previous book on Mars. There is also new information on Mars exploration and possible future missions. This is an important book for both school and community libraries.

Overall Book Score: very good
