This book is a perfect read for any child obsessed with space travel or outer space (or Mars in particular, like my son). Featuring 4 children (two of them children of color) on a hypothetical trip to Mars, there are several ways to read this book. The fun illustrations accompany the song "to Mars we'll go" (sung to the tune of Farmer in the Dell) - with verses such as "We sleep on the walls, We sleep on the walls, Hey-ho, to Mars we'll go -- We sleep on the walls." My son usually joins in with me after the first line. For younger kids, or when you're in a rush, singing through the book is quick and fun. For older kids (or when you're not trying to rush your kid to bed), each page contains interesting facts about what would be necessary for such a journey - like growing fresh vegetables in bags, or how it would be easier to build and launch a spaceship to Mars in space.
