Curiosity is the story of the famous Mars Rover sent to the red planet to discover just what it is really like. The book explains that whilst men have walked on the moon and lived in space, at the moment Mars is too far to send humans, so robots are having to do the discovering instead.

Scientist believe that Mars was once a warm planet with rivers and even an ocean, but today it is cold and inhospitable. NASA wanted to know why there was a change, so Curiosity (amongst other rovers), was sent to investigate.

I love how this book is told from the point of view of the little robot, it makes you feel like you are reading about a real person, although in some ways Curiosity is far more advanced than any human could ever be.

The book is filled to the brim with absolutely amazing images that are dark in colour, as dark colours represent space. The full page illustrations surround an inspirational true story of how Curiosity came to be, how it was named, what its job is and about the red planet too. At the back there is also a timeline about all the Mars Rovers and a glossary too.

Curiosity combines a great story with educational facts, it would be the perfect book for a school library as well as one to have at home. For those children who are interested in space, this book is a must buy. It is just out of this world 🙂 and well worth the five stars.
