I really love this book, not only for its illustrations and the cute images of Curiosity, but it's also very educational and fun. Curiosity, the mars rover, herself tells us all about why she was created and the and how and why she does the important job that she does on Mars. There's a surprising amount of information for kids to learn about Mars and the missions and of course the rovers.

Something about this style of book makes it all the more appealing to read and makes you enjoy learning the facts as you don't feel like you are learning anything. Some pictures look like they were made from block printing and they all have clearly defined shapes.

Along with her story, the ending of the book includes a timeline of all Mars missions as well as extra information about the rovers and a glossary of space terms used in the book. -Thanks to Walker Books for a free copy. The book is more pictures than text with each double page spread explaining some interesting information as well as adding images which help you to understand what is being explained. A great book to give as a gift and one some adults might enjoy reading too.
There's something I just love about the pictures. The book starts off with an introduction by Curiosity before she explains why she was created, why humans wanted to find out about and visit Mars and how difficult, and seemingly impossible, this would be with human astronauts. This book is brilliant at following this as Curiosity is talking to us and explaining her own life and mission to us.
Not only is all of this fascinating to read but it can really spark an interest in all things space related. The book is a hardback and this hardback cover is matt too with Curiosity and another part of the front picture appearing glossy.
It will certainly be enjoyed by those that are interested in space and might just spark an interest in those that aren't. The book is A3 in size and is filled with some lovely text and illustrations on thick matt paper. There is text along the bottom of each page but there is also some text dotted around the individual images which teach you little extras such as the names of Mars's moons or the details about all of Curiosity's parts - I love the fact she refers to having a shoulder, elbow and wrist just like us humans! I really enjoyed Curiosity being the narrator of her own tale.
Every double page has some lovely illustrations. Even as an adult I've enjoyed reading this and learned a lot of things I didn't know about Curiosity. I would definitely recommend this book, whether kids are into space or not.
