Description
Dear Humans of NASA, I am Rover! I’m writing because I want to explore the moon as your next Lunar Rover. Ever since I was a pup, I’ve dreamt of going to space with my human . . .
Rover the dog is convinced he would make a perfect lunar rover. He can handle any kind of terrain. He can dig up rock samples. And he’s even spaceship-trained! Kids will love the dramatic irony while cheering for Rover to achieve his dream. With backmatter about moon exploration and the different parts of a space rover and hilarious illustrations from author/illustrator Taylor Woolley, Earth Rover is the perfect picture book for kids—and dogs—who love space.

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!

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!

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.
