Max Goes to Mars (Japanese‪)‬

Join Max the Dog as he takes off on his second exciting science adventure, this time joining astronauts on the first human mission to Mars. Equipped with a specially designed spacesuit, Max sniffs for signs of microscopic life. Will he find any? Read the exciting story to find out, and to learn how his trip to Mars helps his young friend Tori reflect on the beauty and fragility of our own planet Earth. Along the way, educationally designed "Big Kid Box" sidebars will help children and parents learn about the science that takes place behind the scenes of the pages. Parents and teachers can use the boxes and the end-of-book activity to create a family or classroom learning experience. Max Goes to Mars has been read in English from the International Space Station for NASA's Story Time From Space program; the video is freely posted for anyone to watch at www.StoryTimeFromSpace.com.
