Simply masterful." — Kirkus ! starred review * "The humor continues through the very last page. Agee! with his unique and winning view of the world! never talks down to children and always asks readers to slow down and enjoy his take on what they might not otherwise see." — Horn Book ! starred view * "Sure to be a hit with beginning readers and storytime audiences alike." — School Library Journal ! starred review "Satisfying silliness from start to finish! with a gotcha ending that will prompt requests for repeat readings."— Publishers Weekly "Target[s] the preschool humor level with canny accuracy. Streamlined compositions shaggily outlined in deep charcoal make this ideal for group sharing—and no doubt plenty of shouted interaction." — BCCB "There's plenty of humor in the contrast between Agee's text and pictures! and that skittish martian is a hoot all on its own. Little ones who lost it over Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back  will likely appreciate Agee's guileless astronaut." — Booklist “The words tell one story and the pictures another in this charming tale from master picture book creator Jon Agee...Out of this world.” — BookPage   Informationen zum Autor Jon Agee is the beloved author and illustrator of many acclaimed picture books, including  Terrific  (a  New York Times  Best Illustrated Book),  Milo’s Hat Trick  (an ALA Notable Book), Little Santa (an ALA Notable Book and recipient of five starred reviews), and It’s Only Stanley (a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book). He lives in San Francisco, California. Klappentext In this sneaky, silly picture book for fans of Oliver Jeffers and Jon Klassen, an intrepid-but not so clever-space explorer is certain he's found the only living thing on Mars A young astronaut is absolutely sure there is life to be found on Mars. He sets off on a solitary mission, determined to prove the naysayers wrong. But when he arrives, equipped with a package of cupcakes as a gift, he sees nothing but a nearly barren planet. Finally, he spies a single flower and packs it away to take back to Earth as proof that there is indeed life on Mars. But as he settles in for the journey home, he cracks open his cupcakes-only to discover that someone has eaten them all! Readers will love being in on the secret: Unbeknownst to the explorer, a Martian has been wandering through the illustrations the whole time-and he got himself a delicious snack along the way.
