This book that i finished was called Comets, Stars, the moon and mars.Its a book that has alot of poems and its kind of cool to me.It told me about how mars is rusty and really red and old.I really liked this book and so i gave it **** stars that means really good i think. This books author is Florian Douglas.I thought it was going to say that mars is just red not all of that stuff. This book was nonfiction. My favorite part was when it was talking about the planet mars. The main idea of the story is talking about planets and what they look like. The setting in the story is mostly in space because its talking about planets and planets are in the space so mostly its in space.
