Blast off with this new edition in the first book in the best selling
Professor Astro Cat series! Featuring updated details about how
rockets work, recent missions to Mars, space junk, and black holes.
"Conducted by a cat in a retro-futuristic space suit, this tour of the
solar system and beyond earns style points for both its illustrations
and its selection of "Factoroids."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Cute characters (such as the titular Professor Astro Cat and his
assistant Astro Mouse) give a humorous, conversational tone to this
nonfiction book's information about space, our solar system, and
changing space exploration technology. Like the text, the book's
browsable layout encourages readers to keep exploring. Overall, a great
book to nurture interest in and wonder at the infinite possibilities of
space."
-The Horn Book
"Both modern in its scientific spirit and with a sensibility modeled
after the delightful mid-century children's books from the Golden Age of
space exploration, it tickles young readers - as well as their
space-enchanted parents - into precisely that "palpable zest to make
contact with the cosmos."
-Brain Pickings

the outer reaches of the universe!
The professor's made sure of that; he's a fastidious little feline!
