Review for CatStronauts: Race to Mars

CatStronauts: Race to Mars Drew Brockington, Mars, Space, Cats, Graphic Novel, Sci-FI, Children's BooksA fun book in the series, loved meeting new cats, and see the race to Mars!

I was so excited when one of my libraries added books 2 and 6 to the shelves. Yes, don’t ask why book 6, I haven’t seen the other books, but hey, I guess someone wanted this one and they didn’t care to check if maybe they should add the rest. XD Edit in January (wrote the review in December), books 3 and 4 are added~ Whoo!

IN this book we continue the story of the last book, we see how our Catstronauts are having all the parties, all the foods, all the awards, and more. And that people, sorry cats, are jealous of that! Oh yes. And so a fight to Mars comes to the idea and I loved it! OK, I didn’t love those two cats that much (attitude and mean) but I did love the idea of going to Mars. Those award ceremonies got pretty dang boring ya know (and apparently not just for me but for our cats as well).

What follows is a fun chaotic race to be the first and I loved that we met more couples/more space agencies. I loved their names, they made me laugh (and some made me hungry). I did think it was a bit weird how fast everything happened. I mean, time didn’t seem to go that fast, so for my feeling it was just days. But it is probably months because haha, you just cannot make a good spaceship in a day or so. Plus, of course you also have to wait for the right time. Because Mars/Earth need to be on one line and blabla bla.

I loved following the race in space and I loved seeing what all the cats did. From science experiments (dancing fish which we also got to see between the chapters) and figuring out how everything works.

And then exciting things happen and I was just on the edge of my seat! Will everything be fine? Will the cats reconcile and at least do something together? How will they get back? It was just so much fun!

The illustrations were still 100% fun and I love love their style.

All in all, I am happy they added this book and the sixth. I am a bit worried about reading the 6th book without the rest, but I also cannot wait. XD I would recommend this book and I think everyone will enjoy the race!

Star rating, 4 stars
