I loved this book and all of this author’s books. They’re so well written with a wonderful play on words to make learning fun.

SUPER CUTE!!!

This books information is presented in a fun and memorable way and accompanied but some wonderful illustrations. It teaches our little the difference between our home here on earth and Mars. It shows us why one is habitable while the other isnt.isn't.

Great book for home or classroom. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to make learning about the solar system and space both memorable and fun.

As always, thanks to the publisher and netgalley for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

An interesting way to introduce children if they would like to live in Mars. Told as if Mars can have his own mind, this book is quite informative about the need-to-know life on the planet. It was fun to read while exploring a bit of the universe.

So stinkin cute!!! Great moral to the story as well as sweet information on planets. The illustrations are beyond amazing! I can’t wait to read others in this series.

Stef Wade has written another great book with Moving to Mars! Moving to Mars is a delightful read and beautifully illustrated book. Stef Wade has written a book full of wit and understanding that teaches children and adults alike the basics of Mars and how the people of Earth are preparing to get there one day. I really loved the Moving to Mars and the witty jokes that were in the book. I believe Moving to Mars would be a great read for everyone and I highly recommend this book. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. My review is also on Goodreads.

Really fun story for kids about our current mission to Mars, told from Mars' point of view. I liked that it's both factual about science, but also encourages kids to be friendly to those around them.

Moving to Mars by  Stef Wade is an adorable children's story about planet Mars.  My 9 years old son really enjoyed  the story. The illustrations are very vibrant .

A funny picture book showing the planets and moons of our solar system as a group of friends. Mars has gone from grumpy about all the robots and satellites sent from earth to becoming curious and even eager to meet the humans behind the cameras. Earth and the Moon both gush about humans, but warn Mars things will take time for humans to be ready to visit Mars, much as they want to.

The story is up to the minute in showing our ongoing study of Mars, and makes a fun story out of the question will all ask - when will we get there?

Mars likes peace and quiet and just wants to be left alone! However, between moons and strange visitors who insist on taking pictures and even driving around, Mars is very grumpy. However, as these pesky tourists keep coming by, Mars finds he...might like the company? And may even want some people of his own???

This is a cute introduction to planets and space exploration for early elementary kids. There is a lot of information hinted at in the text (everything from Halley's Comet to terraforming) but it's left to the reader to question and investigate further. As such, this can either be a quick, casual survey or the spark for a deeper dive. The illustrations are vivid and cute and the story is very engaging for its intended audience. This would be a great classroom read and a great addition to the home libraries of budding scientists!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

Thanks to the author,publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this read. I’ve read the author’s book on Pluto, “A Place for Pluto” and enjoyed it. So I knew this one would be just as good and it was. Mars learns about friendship and wanting to make friends. This was a fun read and I think will get kids interested in space.

Moving to Mars is adorable children's book about grumpy Mars trying to keep other planets and visitors away until they realize that they are lonely. They ask Earth for some advice on how to get people to live on Mars, they want permanent residents, not just guests. They make many changes but when it's all said and done Mars learns that changing themselves is not the way. Mars just needs to be patient and be themselves. This is a great story about self-acceptance, patience and friendship. The illustrations are bright and eye catching. Children (and adults) of all ages will love this book!

A lovely story with a great lesson about patience and friendship. I'm also just a sucker for stories about space.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC. All opinions are my own.

This was a great read for our homeschool family. We love to read about space and this book was different to any we have read before. The story is presented from the viewpoint of a lonely, and sometimes grumpy planet, Mars. Mars is a loner who likes his peace and quiet. Apart from his moons, Phobos and Deimos, and an occasional meteoroid passing by, he enjoys being alone. That is until a small rover arrives. We really enjoyed watching the character arc of Mars change from being lonely to wanting to be friends with both the rover and his neighbouring planets. We also enjoyed the jokes that were scattered throughout the story. One very pleasing aspect of the book was that it very lightly touched upon the importance of ethical planetary exploration. This is a book we can definitely explore further in our homeschool.

Moving to Mars is a cute story about a lonely planet, Mars. We have always talked about moving to Mars, but we have never heard Mars’s point of view of this arrangement. This book will have you laughing out loud as Mars tells us how he is ready for some company.

A Place for Pluto by Stef Wade was one of my favorite books that I purchased for my schools' libraries this year, so I was incredibly excited to read Moving to Mars; and this book absolutely did not disappoint those expectations! Wade seamlessly blend fiction and nonfiction allowing for both a cute story as well as information about space. Not only does this book offer that balance of story and fact but also can help facilitate discussions about emotions, making new friends, and space exploration. I am thrilled to read this to my students next school year and be able to talk not only about space (a topic many of them find fascinating) but also be able to talk about making new friends.

Moving to Mars is really a cute fun story. The book has quite nice illustrations and it clearly describes how space looks. Also the book has given some information about the Mars which I like it and it would be easier to understand for kids also. Overall I enjoyed this book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Capstone for giving me this lovely E-ARC.

Mars gets annoyed when he has visitors, as he is the type of planet who likes calm and peace. However, when his visitors leave, he realises that he misses them, so he asks his space friends for comfort.

I found this story really sweet and fun. My daughter and I enjoyed looking at the amazing, bright and colourful images, and it helped my daughter to see what space looks like. She thought the planets looked funny.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this fresh take on a space book for kids! What if planets planets have opinions? What if those opinions change? My little one has a LOT of space books, but I've never read anything like this one! Expressive illustrations and an engaging storyline make this a perfect book for space lovers and feeling-explorers!

I read this book to my 8 1/2 year old son (he still loves to be read to) and he absolutely loved it. I feel like this book would draw any kids attention with the bright colored illustrations and how it was! My son has always loved learning about the solar system and he said what he liked about this one is that not only is it a fun book, but it also includes lessons as well as some education tidbits. This one’s a definite winner of books for kiddos!

Moving to Mars is a children's illustrated fiction where we can learn about Mars and how planets have feelings too, just like everyone else!

The cover is adorable and mirrors the internal illustrations. I love the colors that they chose and the characters faces were really well developed.

Throughout the pages we learn that Mars isn't too happy with visitors such as the Mars Rover, satellites and more. Yet, over time he realizes that maybe he doesn't mind them too much and actually likes the company. Yet, when they leave he becomes lonely and would like to learn about how other planets were able to have visitors from Earth. So, what's the best thing to do when asking about human visitors? Ask Earth and the Moon itself as those two have seen them first hand!

Mars learns that humans would like to visit one day so he starts to loosen up - telling jokes, hanging out with the other planets and becoming friends, and starting to learn that he can just be himself and doesn't have to hide his feelings.

Five stars. Great, children's book! I love the highlighted phrases and words that readers can pick up on and learn about, alongside in the back of the book there's information about Mars. Did you know it would take a 9 month non stop ride to get to Mars? I didn't before, but now I do!

Wade also has another book out called <b> A Place for Pluto </b> that I'll be checking out too!
