Red Rover is a gorgeously illustrated tale that explores the vast, inhospitable landscape of Mars and the adventures of the little rover that calls the planet its home.

Mars has a visitor.

It likes to roam...

observe...

measure...

and collect.

crossing plains, climbing hills,

and tracing the bottoms of craters—in search of water and life.

It is not the first to visit Mars.

It will not be the last.

But it might be...

the most curious.
