A great book that sparks little imaginations...

I bought this for my daughter (Peggy is her Kindergarden teacher) thinking that it would be fun for her to have a book written by her teacher - and we ended up with a great book. Written in the first person, it puts childern in the role of an astronaut, with wonderfull illustrations that detail how their spaceship might work, or what their mars base might be like. The book is playful enough to grab and hold my daughter's attention in this wonderful fantasy, but filled with enough science and fact to send her mind racing with surprising questions about what it's like "out there..." Really a great book to teach true science in a fun way. Outstanding.
Preschool Applauds Lash's Touchdown Mars

When I first looked at the vocabulary of Peggy Wethered's Touchdown Mars I felt it would be over my 3-4-5-year olds' heads. But when I introduced the book and began to read, the children moved in for closer looks. They followed the abc's from Earth to Mars with keen interest. They talked among themselves between letters, pointed to things they recognized, laughing and playing with the words they were hearing. It was a wonderful experience and I congratulate Putnam Publishing Company for a real coup in producing Mrs. Wethered's work for all ages.
