Description
xThis easy science fiction book continues the same kind of humor and adventure of the author's first book, Space Cat. Illustrations in black and white are well suited to the text. Recommended. -- Library Journal
Flyball the Space Cat is back, and this time he's living in Luna Port, the first city on the Moon. Workers at the lunar station are building a rocket to transport him and his pilot buddy, Colonel Fred Stone, to Venus. The two friends take a long voyage to the planet, where they encounter violet skies, torrential ammonia rains, and strange plants that can communicate without speaking.
This new edition of a charmingly illustrated storybook from 1955 is the second of a four-book series starring the intrepid feline known as Space Cat. Young readers will delight in taking a look at space exploration from Flyball's point of view and following his escapades across the solar system.
