Good for those who are about to learn about Mars for the first time. For others who follow space exploration related news and updates or have the basic knowledge regarding the Red Planet, you may find it a bit disappointing. It's basically a kid's book. Simple language and picture-focused.

This is a great book about Mars. I learned things about the various rovers, orbiters, and landers that we've placed on Mars as well as plans for the future. This is fairly verbose with a lot of pictures, so be prepared to read a lot of small blurbs while gesturing to the various photos.

A kids' book, but the perfect introduction to Mars. It's full of interesting tidbits, basically everything you'd like to know about Mars and what Mars' exploration entails.

An excellent beginner’s guide to Mars. Filled with stunning images, and sufficient information about the red planet (a.k.a. most of us’ future home). Keep calm and carry on, SpaceX.
