Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Space Cat
Doug Cushman · 2006
65/100
👎 Skip It
A perfectly pleasant I Can Read entry with easy vocabulary, warm humor from the robot Earl, and bright Cushman illustrations — School Library Journal approved it for beginning readers and the assessment is fair. The plot is exceedingly thin even by early-reader standards, and limited critical coverage beyond one journal notice keeps confidence modest.
