You Are the First Kid on Mars by Patrick O’Brien
With photograph-like paintings and detailed text, this book relates what might happen if a child were to visit Mars. I was taken by the pictures and the details of what a child might experience.
A little from the book:
“You can’t go out on the surface of Mars without a space suit. There’s not enough oxygen to breathe, and it is much too cold. You carry air in tanks on your back, and your suit keeps you warm. Gravity on Mars is less than half as strong as on Earth, so you take big, bouncing steps.”
Children’s reactions:
The children who looked at this book commented on how real the pictures looked. They were pretty evenly divided as to those who liked the book and those who did not.
