Written by Astronaut Mark Kelly & illustrated by C.F. Payne [Ohio]
A mouse stowaway on NASA's first human mission to Mars becomes a hero when one of the landing craft's engines fails. Includes facts about Mars. 40 pages
"Large, delightful mixed-media illustrations combine realism (Mission Control) and cartoon (Meteor lifting weights, packing his suitcase, and floating through the cabin). A four-page afterword by the author tells the history of and the potential for the exploration of Mars. Children will enjoy the tale of how the smallest member of the crew becomes a national hero in the yearlong journey." -Booklist (Preschool-Kindergarten)
