Book Review: Astro's Adventures- Dogs in Space by Susan Day

Book Review:

Astro’s Adventures:

Dogs in Space

Author: Susan Day
Genre: Children's/Chapter Book

Dogs in Space tells the adventurous tales of Astro and his companions. They are members of an elite canine squad, The Organization, whose mission is protect dogs everywhere.

After their nemesis, Speed Bump Charlie blows up the moon, Astro and the gang must rocket into space to save the world. Of course, there journey is full of almost disasters and near misses.

The story is well told and edited.  It was an easy read but also possesses fun and adventure all children will love.  It's also fast paced and will keep its young readers turning the pages until the end.

Aside from Dogs in Space being an action packed ride, there's more substance to it then one would expect.  It's full of humor that even made me laugh out loud.  The dogs still have their 'dog side'. They may be journeying through space to save the world but they still have tummy rubs on their minds.

I also loved how Astro is a brave member of the The Organization.  However, even he still gets scared sometimes.  The author also uses their mission to teach children about the solar system.  This is not only accomplished without making the story boring, but actually gives it another layer.  I recommend this story for all children.
