Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Toddlers can defy gravity in this singalong STEM board book as they not only turn the pages, but also the book to travel through space.

A perfect combination of song and science, this rhyming board book about space is perfect for read-alouds and is sure to be a repeated read in the household.

Perfect for STEM and space storytimes, this musical mission to Mars will have young astronauts singing along as they learn the science of space travel.

Explore the science behind a trip to Mars, from launch to landing on the Red Planet. Set to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell," this jaunty journey follows five adorable, bobble-headed astronauts as they learn how to bathe in zero gravity, grow veggies in space, and entertain themselves on the six-month trip. Even the design of the book defies gravity, as text and art float free on the page, encouraging readers to turn the book sideways and upside-down.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Hey-Ho, to Mars We'll Go! by Susan Lendroth and Bob Kolar is a children's book that enlivens the journey to Mars, set to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell". It features diverse children as they explore space, supported by vibrant, bold illustrations that complement the narrative and encourage young readers to engage with astronautic concepts. Despite some awkward rhymes and a layout requiring rotation due to zero-gravity depictions, the book offers a wealth of fascinating details about life in space, making it an amusing and informative read for space enthusiasts.
