Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Pete the Cat and the Space Chase
James Dean & Kimberly Dean · 2023
🎙 Narrated by James Fouhey
64/100
👎 Skip It
Fun, bright, silly space caper for brand-new readers stepping into graphic novels, but longtime Pete the Cat fans have a point that this departs from the character's usual chill vibe, and there's not a ton of substance beneath the colorful art. It's a fine pick if your kid just wants Pete in space, not a standout. The narration matches the light comic tone well enough, nothing more.

🎙 Narration: fine James Fouhey's reading matches the comic's light tone but nothing distinguishes it beyond that.
