Raves and Reviews
Captain Cat and Pilot Matt build a spaceship and head to Mars in this follow up to Captain Cat and the Pirate Lunch. Captain Cat’s new adventure takes him and his pal into space. . . . This Ready-to-Read Pre-Level 1 book from the author of the “Pig in a Wig” series is a brief, easy-to-read story with controlled language. Much like its predecessor, this easy reader uses rhyming couplets, with a little onomatopoeia mixed in. . . . Not only a quick, accessible read, this is also charming for its humorous pictures and witty story.
