Life on Mars Summary

Life on Mars by Jon Agee

A daring young astronaut arrives on Mars, certain he will find life there. He has even brought a gift of chocolate cupcakes. But soon he realises he's made a mistake as the planet seems to be totally barren except for one little flower. However, as only the audience can see, if only he would turn around he would meet the friendly Martian who is always lurking shyly one step behind! As he settles in for the journey home, he cracks open his cupcakes-only to discover that someone has eaten them all! Fans of Oliver Jeffers and Jon Klassen will love this slapstick adventure where the last laugh is on our intrepid but not so clever hero.

Life on Mars Reviews

'Jon Agee excels at creating picture books with unusual settings and characters. For young readers, this book serves as a great introduction to the kinds of books where the reader knows more information than the main character does.' The Huffington Post;'Bursting with quiet wit and gorgeous Martian vistas. Simply masterful.' Kirkus, starred review; 'Satisfying silliness from start to finish, with a gotcha ending that will prompt requests for repeat readings.' PW
