This fun crew of space explorers are ready for any tasks sent their way. While in space, they get called back to Earth to receive the mission of searching for a lost rover on Mars. They load and fuel up the rocket, and then...TAKE OFF! With so much land to cover, will they be able to find that one rover? With teamwork and cooperation, anything is possible with this crew.

The illustrations are done in digital media. The colors are not only bold, but they are realistic as to what I would imagine Mars looking like. The texture is gritty.

I chose English Language Arts as my subject and Kindergarten as my grade level. This book tells the story while presenting the alphabet in a fun way at the same time. I would use this in my classroom to help my students better themselves in identifying letters and how they can be used.
