"I would love the illustrations in this one to win the Caldecott award. Unfortunatly, though the story was well written it just did not stand up to the quality of the drawings. I did like the idea that when we colonize Mars there will be martians there to enjoy it with us. Ages 6+ " — Molly (4 out of 5 stars)
