Mars
This book was about the solar system and the planet Mars. It is and informational text and it goes over the different things that effect mars and what surrounds the planet. For example its atmosphere, the rocks on the surface, the missions to Mars, life on Mars and colonization. I liked this book for three main reasons. On reason was that there wasn’t a ton of text. The text explaining each topic was informational without being too much which kept me from getting bored with the book. Another reason that I liked the book was there where a lot of pictures and they were very helpful in figuring out what the book was talking about. Also if I get bored of reading there are plenty of pictures to distract me and regain my interest. . The third and final reason that I like this book is that all the pictures have a description. For example if there was a picture of rover or another machine the text piece next to the picture would describe what it is and how it works. This helps me get a better understanding for what the machines are and what they do. This helps to clarify things so I don’t get confused while I am reading. In conclusion I liked this book because it had good pictures, comfortable amount of text, and the pictures have descriptions. This book doesn’t really have a message other than trying to share the knowledge of the economy. ( )
