PreS-Gr 3-This fresh update (HarperCollins, 1986) has just enough text revision to warrant purchase for replacement, including positive statements on the existence of planets outside our solar system. Also new is a closing page inviting readers to design a space suit, think about how they would communicate with aliens, describe an imaginary planet, and visit a local planetarium. However, the main improvement in this edition is the complete change in illustration. A color photo of an astronaut on the moon (complete with landing module and American flag) and several color shots of Mars and Mercury are welcome inclusions. Miller's brightly colored cartoon artwork, complete with a vivid array of bug-eyed extraterrestrials, is sure to delight youngsters.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright 1999 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
