Synopsis

From writer Stacy McAnulty comes Mars! Earthlings Welcome is a light-hearted nonfiction audiobook about the red planet—told from the perspective of Mars himself...

Meet Mars! The red planet. Planet Marvelous. Favorite sibling of Earth (or so he claims). Sometimes they're close (just 34.5 million miles apart). Sometimes they need space (250 million miles apart)! Earth and Mars have a lot in common—clouds, mountains, polar icecaps. And while Earth has Earthlings, Mars makes a persuasive case for why people should make the journey to spend time with him. His day is 7 minutes longer! He is home to the largest volcano in the whole solar system. He's, well, marvelous.

With characteristic humor and charm, Stacy McAnulty channels the voice of Mars in this next celestial "autobiography" in the Our Universe series. Rich with kid-friendly facts, this is an equally charming and irresistible audiobook.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company

Goodreads review by Monte on June 14, 2024

Again, the bestie read this to the group and it was a fun time. This was a little longer, but plenty punny for the adults while also being educational for every age. The art was also pleasant. I don't know what the girlies are looking for in a picture book review but honestly might check out the res......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie on May 14, 2021

A lightweight introduction for young learners. In the fifth title in the "Our Universe" picture book series, the planet Mars tells young readers and listeners all about himself: by comparing himself with the other planets by size, order from the sun, and by composition (rocky planets). He offers mult......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on July 14, 2021

The only thing I didn’t like was how traveling to Mars is described as visiting. We know that once you go, you can’t come back to earth, a fact which is at least as important as the joke about Mars’s birthday month. Otherwise, great facts, presented in an interesting way, and super cute drawings.......more

You're invited! Mission to Mars When: As soon as possible (But probably not for a few decades) Where: On Mars (of course) I'm always a little leery of anthropomorphism in children's nonfiction (e.g., a planet named Marvelous Mars that has dreams "of big-brained visitors" who want to visit and that claims......more
