Mars Rover Driver by Catherine Chambers, Scott Maxwell

kazalicious's review

4.0

This is geared toward 5th to 8th grade reading levels, and has plenty of information to keep them engaged. There are "did you know" facts, photographs from NASA, explanations of every part of the job, including details and specifications about the rovers themselves. There is a quiz, vocabulary/glossary, and blurbs of information on those involved in space exploration, writing and promotion of the space program. I didn't know that the compute they used in the 60s was named "Thumper".
This would be a great resource for any older ages for reports or for any kids who really enjoy space or factual books.
