A great book on Mars!

It includes the latest information from Pathfinder, Sojourner, and Global Surveyor, and has particularly interesting comparisons of Earth and Mars. I've always been fascinated by Mars, and now my kids are too!

Dated, but still enjoyable.
Sally Ride, The Mystery of Mars (Crown, 1999) Ride, the first American woman in space, offers up a kid-sized overview of Mars, the text supplemented by a wealth of photos and artists' renderings of the planet.

Sally Ride, The Mystery of Mars (Crown, 1999)
Ride, the first American woman in space, offers up a kid-sized overview of Mars, the text supplemented by a wealth of photos and artists' renderings of the planet. While the book is dated now-- a number of the missions she mentions that were projected for the early part of this decade were scrapped-- there's still a great deal about the planet itself here that;s worthwhile, and Ride takes the very interesting tack of comparing the evolution of Mars with the evolution of Earth, which should be good for helping kids get a clearer picture of why the two planets are so different. Interesting. ***

A great space science read for kids!,

This review is from: The Mystery of Mars (Hardcover)
In 1997 NASA's Pathfinder became the first spacecraft to tough down on Mars: Mystery of Mars draws on the results of that mission and upon other Mars studies to provide a fine overview of Mars science and exploration.
