(3) K-3 Using photos sent to earth by the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera that has been orbiting Mars since 2006, Slade introduces readers to some of the extraordinary features of our closest planet. Each double-page spread includes a stunning, beautifully reproduced photograph with a phrase or word in large type: "Mars is shifting // and changing, // heaving..." and a paragraph of explanation in smaller type. The photographs are striking, though it's hard to discern scale. The accompanying text helps readers understand what they're looking at, but the book is most successful at creating a sense of curiosity and wonder.
