RED ROVER: CURIOSITY ON MARS
Illustrated by Katherine Roy Roaring Brook Press/Macmillan October 29, 2019 At first glance, Curiosity seems lonely. It roams the vast surface of Mars, searching for water and signs of life. But as the red planet observes the movements of this curious little rover, it remembers all the rovers, landers and probes that came before. Curiosity is not alone . . . and neither is Mars. Both look eagerly to the future and wonder who will visit them next.

"Picture book first-timer Richard Ho succeeds with a tough assignment: imbuing a rolling pile of nuts, bolts and gadgets with personality." —Shelf Awareness
