This book was so cute. The theme, Rover, the illustrations, and the humor made this a truly delightful read.

Highly recommend this book to those who enjoy the wonders of space and their furry friends!

Thank you to Taylor Woolley and Familius for granting me an ARC through NetGalley.

"Earth Rover" is a delightful book for kids about a dog who dreams of going to space through a letter format. At the end, there are some cool facts about space travel. It's a great read for any child who loves adventure and dreams big.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The book was beautifully written. Overall, I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

Netgalley ARC - Cute! A lighthearted story of an astronauts dog who writes a letter to NASA, asking to be the next lunar rover. Very sweet, with a few pages that showcase some information about rovers.

I've recently been quite eager to read more space-themed books and this was a joy to read! Taylor Woolley's text and art are hilarious and informative, where you learn what all goes on in 's head and also learn quite a lot about space! The illustrations are engaging, bright and the blues and purples set the "space" really well! I very much enjoyed reading this book!

There is also additional text sharing information about moon exploration!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

what an adorable story about a dogs dream to go to space! this one was so interesting and the illustrations were perfect for the story! little scientists are gonna love this one!

A cute book about dogs and space. Rover is a very good pup who wants to go to space with their human. They write a letter to NASA explaining how they are better than a robot in space. There are funny little mistakes in the letter such as crossing out "ruff, ruff, ruff" and writing rough. Although Rover is rejected from going into space, NASA invites them to "Bring Your Pet to Work Day" along with their human. A very fun book for all ages.

Ahh Rover, what a good boy you are! The best boy! Such a sweet book about an aspiring Lunar Rover. Earth Rover is a very fun read, and the illustrations are beautiful! My son’s favorite part, the numbered list describing how spacecraft launches reach the moon; personally, I like the NASA day trip, but he and I look for different things in our books.

I do think the font needs to be bumped up quite a bit in size. There isn’t a need for so much open space on the pages, and reading this in dim light (nap time, bed time) will be difficult/borderline impossible. I have pretty close to perfect eyesight, and read this on a full size tablet, but I had to bring the book close to my face for some of the small text. If it were easier to read, this would be 5 stars-because the story is something my son loved!

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Familius and the author for providing me with an arc copy in exchange for an honest review.

What a cute read! Earth Rover is a heartfelt letter from Rover (duh!) to Nasa, in which he proposes himself for the role of lunar rover so he can join his human in her journey to space!

Rover points out all his characteristics and shows how he would actually be better than an usual lunar rover, in this way the story provides actual info without being too complicated to understand. The illustrations are very nice and represent the story in a perfect way.

There's only one thing I want to point out and it's that in a few parts (nothing major!) there wasn't enough contrast between the writing and the background, and it was a little harder to see what was written. I feel like it might look better in the physical copies tho, it's probably influenced by screen brightness and by the device used.

Cute book with fun illustrations. Great night time story with clever writing and allows for discussion of pet connections.

Space story & Science

This was such a cute story that wove in selling points from the dogs point of view. An original story that strategically educates the reader throughout and with space and NSAS insights in the end.

The illustrations caught my attention visually and nostalgically made me think of books that generated that same reaction from me during story time in school.

I received a copy of this book from Taylor Woolley and Familius. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC! My 7 year old absolutely adored this to the point that she is insisting we buy a physical copy when it releases. The art was absolutely stunning and the story itself was incredibly cute and heartwarming. My daughter is interested in space and found the information on the rovers and other space facts at the end a fun edition. She loved the design of the man dog, but lost it at the dachshund on page 16. This was a great book to read for her age range and a really cute story that had some real facts mixed in. We definitely be securing a physical copy of this after its release date.

I can't even put into words how much I adored this. It was educational, heartwarming, and beautiful to flip through. This is perfect for any child who loves dogs or space! There's lots of info about space rovers without being overly complicated or too difficult for younger kids to understand.

I wasn't expecting the emotional bits towards the end to be there, but it really sold the book for me. This is truly a wonderful book and I will absolutely be purchasing it for some of my teacher friends to add to their little libraries!

Earth Rover is a sweet picture book about a dog who wants to go on a lunar mission with his astronaut owner. He talks about different aspects of space how he would be a good fit. I liked that it was a silly story, but that it still provided factual information throughout and additional information at the end. Small kids would enjoy this story. It's also a good length for a bedtime story.

Thanks to Familius and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

This book is adorable! It teaches key facts about dogs while also discussing topics pertaining to space exploration.

A wonderful children's book! Cute, humorous, and educational. Adorable illustrations throughout. A fun way to teach your child about NASA and lunar rovers with the help of a cute basset hound! A perfect addition to any home or classroom library.

Thank you to the publisher for an eARC via NetGalley!

Rover the dog really wants to go to space with his human who works at NASA, so he writes a letter listing all of the ways he would be a great lunar rover. Earth Rover is a very cute, beautifully illustrated read for kids who love space and animals.
