Catstronauts: Mission Moon: 1

Product Information

In the fifth book in the CatStronauts graphic novel series, Pom Pom pushes her experiments to the limit on the International Space Station, while the cats at Mission Control take a much needed break. What could possibly go wrong? A side note: this volume made me realize that I’d made some character design assumptions that weren’t necessarily true. For example, cats whose eyes were drawn so that they had eyelashes were female, while cats whose eyes were just dots were male, meaning that all the CatStronauts were male. Or so I thought. I don’t know if pronouns were used in the first volume and I just missed them, but the second volume definitely referred to Pom Pom using she/her pronouns. I discovered the first two books at our local library, and considering how much we enjoyed reading the saga of Binky the Space Cat by Ashley Spires, I thought this might be another hit with our girls.

Tinderblox Night is a limited edition of Tinderblox, that is only available directly from Alley Cat Games. All in all, I am happy they added this book and the sixth. I am a bit worried about reading the 6th book without the rest, but I also cannot wait. XD I would recommend this book and I think everyone will enjoy the race!Neither the story nor the illustrations get bogged down in technical info about space travel or science, it stays within the interest-level, reading level, and scientific framing that will most likely make readers in 2nd-4th grade feel comfortable. The cards in Tinderblox Night are harder to complete that the base game, making this a great version for those wanting a bigger challenge!

CatStronauts: Slapdash Science (CatStronauts, 5) by Drew

This was an adorable surprise. My son and I read this together at night before bed over a few nights. I thoroughly enjoyed it and so did he! He's now zooming through the other books. Jump in and play instantly without learning complicated controls - anyone can be a Catastronaut! However, not everybody can survive the challenges of space... Fresh off of their heroic mission to save the world, the CatStronauts--Major Meowser, Pom Pom, Blanket and Waffles--are taking a well deserved victory lap. Parades and fancy awards dinners are the new norm! When chief science officer Pom Pom rejoins the CatStronauts on the International Space Station, sh... Four out of five stars due to the fact that the book has the flaws of the cinematic counterparts made in the 80s and 90s. Brutal and grim Russians who inexplicably alternate between rage and amiability may be a reflection on how any human interaction and perception of others may be skewed when each participant considers the other ultimately hostile and incomprehensible.I think the messages here are don't try to do everything yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help. Good messages! In the fourth book in the CatStronauts graphic novel series, the stalwart Cat-Stro-Bot is stranded, and the CatStronauts have to stage an off-the-books robot rescue!
