One 4-line stanza pairs with a nonfiction statement about space travel as we follow four astronauts of varying skin colors as they travel to Mars. Kids will delight as the reader rotates the book throughout the story in order to read the rotating words and pictures, imitating the weightless floating of space; although, the reader should first practice turning the pages from left to right. Readers will also want to practice singing the Farmer in the Dell with these new words because there may be some awkward phrasing to work around.
