국내에도 번역서가 출간된 Lion Lesson (사자 자격증 따기), The Wall in the Middle (무슨 벽일까?), Mean Margaret (못된 마거릿)을 비롯해서 다수의 베스트셀러 그림책을 만든, 미국인이 가장 사랑하는 그림책 작가 중 한 명인 존 에이지의 대표작입니다. 이 책 역시 "화성에 무엇이 살까?"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간되었습니다.

화성에 사는 생명체를 찾기 위해 지구로부터 오랜 우주비행을 한 후 마침내 화성에 도착했어요. 사람들은 화성에 사는 생명체를 찾기 위해 간다는 주인공에 대해서 미쳤다고 했어요.

선물로 줄 초콜릿 컵케이크까지 가지고 야심차게 도착한 화성. 그러나 화성은 생각한 것보다 훨씬 어둡고 고 우울한 곳이었어요. 걸어도 걸어도 먼지와 흙, 돌밖에 없었지요. 사람들 말이 맞았다는 걸 인정하고 지구로 돌아가려는데, 이게 어찌된 일이죠? 우주선이 보이지 않아요! 우주선이 어디 간 걸까요? 절망에 빠지려는 찰나, 아이의 눈에 뭔가가 번뜩 들어옵니다. 저게 뭘까요?

Book Description
In this sneaky, silly picture book for fans of Oliver Jeffers and Jon Klassen, an intrepid--but not so clever--space explorer is certain he’s found the only living thing on Mars

A young astronaut is absolutely sure there is life to be found on Mars. He sets off on a solitary mission, determined to prove the naysayers wrong. But when he arrives, equipped with a package of cupcakes as a gift, he sees nothing but a nearly barren planet. Finally, he spies a single flower and packs it away to take back to Earth as proof that there is indeed life on Mars. But as he settles in for the journey home, he cracks open his cupcakes--only to discover that someone has eaten them all!

Readers will love being in on the secret: Unbeknownst to the explorer, a Martian has been wandering through the illustrations the whole time—and he got himself a delicious snack along the way.



New York Times Book Review
“We are made hopeful by fresh questions and mysteries about our ultimately unknowable and inexhaustibly interesting universe . . . [The book] invites us to be fearless with our faults and bold in our explorations, and to remember that wonder is never withdrawn.”


San Francisco Chronicle
"Delightful deadpan humor."


The Huffington Post
“Jon Agee excels at creating picture books with unusual settings and characters . . . For young readers, this book serves as a great introduction to the kinds of books where the reader knows more information than the main character does.”


Kirkus *Starred Review*
"Bursting with quiet wit and gorgeous Martian vistas. Simply masterful."


Horn Book *Starred Review*
"The humor continues through the very last page. Agee, with his unique and winning view of the world, never talks down to children and always asks readers to slow down and enjoy his take on what they might not otherwise see."


School Library Journal *Starred Review*
"Sure to be a hit with beginning readers and storytime audiences alike."


Publishers Weekly
"Satisfying silliness from start to finish, with a gotcha ending that will prompt requests for repeat readings."


BCCB
"Target[s] the preschool humor level with canny accuracy. Streamlined compositions shaggily outlined in deep charcoal make this ideal for group sharing - and no doubt plenty of shouted interaction."


Booklist
"There's plenty of humor in the contrast between Agee's text and pictures, and that skittish martian is a hoot all on its own. Little ones who lost it over Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back will likely appreciate Agee's guileless astronaut."

“The words tell one story and the pictures another in this charming tale from master picture book creator Jon Agee...Out of this world.” - BookPage
