Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Space Cadet Topo
Dgph · 2010
68/100
👎 Skip It
The DGPH illustrations are the real story here — vivid, video-game-bright visuals that could hold a child's attention on visual interest alone, and the heroic mole protagonist is genuinely appealing. But the text is minimal to the point of thinness, the critical record is almost entirely publisher-generated, and there is not enough substance beyond the aesthetic to earn a confident recommendation.
