Full of eye-catching retro illustrations, a look at NASA's beloved Mars rover is sure to fascinate budding space explorers -- and set inquisitive minds soaring. Maybe you remember when a little robotic spacecraft landed on a far-off planet. On August 6, 2012, the rover Curiosity touched down on the rocky surface of Mars -- and now she's ready to guide you through her journey firsthand. From idea to creation and beyond, this fact-filled, stylish book introduces readers to Curiosity and her mission: to discover more about the red planet and search for evidence of life. How did Curiosity get her name? What tools does she use to carry out her tasks? In her own voice, the popular NASA rover tells how and why she traveled more than 350,000,000 miles to explore a planet no human has ever visited . . . and what she's been doing there. In his debut picture book, Markus Motum brings Curiosity's story to life in vivid color: the deep blues of space set off the warm, rusted hues of Mars's dusty red surface, marking this lovable rover and her mission as something special -- truly a world apart.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great value, does the job
Paper plates can vary widely with individual plate strength, resistance to sogginess, size and more. These are plain paper plates that we use in a plastic holder. Nothing special, but they do the job as expected.
The real selling points are the fit in my holder (these are appropriately snug suggesting size integrity) and do they hold up long enough for a meal. Thumbs up in both respects. They are standard thickness, so you can expect them to work with light loads. Plunk some heavy food on the plate and you better either double-up or use a holder like I do.
The one thing I don't like is the difficulty in separating out individual plates. Without this effort you inevitably peel out 2-4 plates at a time. (Maybe these are supposed to be double layer? Could be.)
The best reason for buying this set is the low cost per plate. We use these for every meal when it is just my wife and I and go through a lot of plates. The value for the money can not be beat.
