Diggersaurs meet their cosmic counterparts.

Whaite once again combines machine and beast. However, this time, instead of construction trucks, it is Martian rovers who take center stage as readers meet the Roversaurs. Their spindly appendages and agile frames lend themselves nicely to the dinosaur mashup. These Roversaurs have research to conduct. They test soil, take photos, and map the topography of the landscape. They are also looking for the perfect spot to build a special project. They have a “Constructorsaurus” who works late into the night, but when the hologram blueprint is projected, the team quickly realizes they need some help. Diggersaurs to the rescue! The Diggersaurs squad comes flying in on a spaceship, and the two groups merge. While the dino-vehicles may be fantastical, details like the dusty red atmosphere and solar-powered machines are all gateways to further nonfiction exploration. Two astronauts, one with dark skin and one with light (both of whom offer amusing asides), and one tiny alien can be found on each spread. With jaunty rhymes and surefire kid appeal, this one will make any storytime blast off in excitement. (This book was reviewed digitally.)

Will have truck enthusiasts making the leap to astronomy. (Picture book. 3-6)
