Curiosity is the name of a robot that is exploring Mars and sending photos back to the humans. Curiosity is also having a birthday and sends a message back to earth that we should all be a little more curious about the world around us.
This is a short and easy book that will encourage readers to keep learning about Mars and the efforts we all make to understand our world. The only part that was a bit lost of me was why they oriented the story around the birthday of the robot. I think the book would have been better oriented around the name of the robot, Curiosity.
