There’s Nothing to Do on Mars

Written and illustrated by Chris Gall. Published by Little, Brown and Company in 2008.

Copper’s G-Daddy bought him this book at City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco. It tells the story of Davey Martin and the adventures he has on Mars with his dog. The illustrations resemble turn-of-the-century woodcuts saturated with warm colors. Amazingly, a VW bus shows up there (another of Copper’s daddy’s favorite things). The endpapers are entertaining as well.
