Space Cat Meets Mars

Flyball, a space cat, is returning from Venus when his ship is hit by an asteroid and lands on Mars, where his explorations lead him to Moofa, a female cat.

In his third far-flung adventure, the dauntless Space Cat — aka Flyball — and his pal Colonel Fred blast off for their most fantastic destination yet, the Red Planet. Collectible hardcover edition.

Flyball, a little gray kitten with a taste for adventure, stows away on the spaceship taking his owner to the moon.

"Recommended." — Library Journal. Flyball is back, and this whimsically illustrated hardcover volume recounts the intrepid cat's voyage to Venus, where he and his pilot friend encounter strange plants that can communicate without speaking.

From writer Stacy McAnulty and illustrator Stevie Lewis, Mars! Earthlings Welcome is a light-hearted nonfiction picture book about the red planet—told from the perspective of Mars himself... Meet Mars! The red planet. Planet Marvelous. Favorite sibling of Earth (or so he claims). Sometimes they're close (just 34.5 million miles apart). Sometimes they need space (250 million miles apart)! Earth and Mars have a lot in common—clouds, mountains, polar icecaps. And while Earth has Earthlings, Mars makes a persuasive case for why people should make the journey to spend time with him. His day is 7 minutes longer! He is home to the largest volcano in the whole solar system. He's, well, marvelous. With characteristic humor and charm, Stacy McAnulty channels the voice of Mars in this next celestial "autobiography" in the Our Universe series. Rich with kid-friendly facts and beautifully brought to life by Stevie Lewis, this is an equally charming and irresistible picture book.

A cosmic adventure with a character in the spirit of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, and other great space age heroes. Features read-to-me audio, perfect for sharing.
