Mission To Mars-Backyardigans

My daughter loved the episode and loves the book. She goes around the house saying "Boinga, boinga" all time. And when we read the book we sing "We're going to Mars" along with it.

Blast-Off!

"Mission to Mars" is the fourth "Backyardigans" 8x8 book based on a television episode to be released. In this high-flying adventure, Pablo, Uniqua and Austin blast off for the fourth planet in our solar system, the red planet of Mars. Investigating a strange signal, they're being backed up at Mission Control by Tyrone and Tasha.

The Backyardigans head to Mars to investigate the signal "boinga boinga boinga." Once there, they face meteor showers, rough terrain and worse. But astronauts never give up when they have an important mission to complete.

Personally, I don't think "Backyardigans" episodes translate as well to books as some shows, given all of the songs and humor that are used on the television program. However, this is still a fairly nice adapation of this "very special episode" of the program.
