Drew Brockington's CatStronauts: A Hilarious Take on Science!

donut15: We really like the Catstronaut series so I didn’t think to pre-read this book before giving it to my child.
I was unhappy to find the word “murderer” in a few of the scenes. Yes, he was talking about “fish murderers” which I see the humour in, but this is not for adults (or young adults), it’s for children. This is not a word that should be in a children’s book and is definitely not something I want to explain the definition of to my kid at this point.
Also there is some focus on plants being “dead” when Pom Pom’s experiment goes wrong. The word is emphasised and repeated. Now I’m not complaining about that as much, it’s a very natural process, however I do think it’s worth noting to other parents/readers who may have children who are sensitive to the subject. It stuck out to me after being disturbed by the previous chapter.
I also am finding this one a lot choppier and harder for kids to follow.

Theodore S. Fair: Waffles, the best character in the book, is hilarious and HUNGRY. I have re-read the book many times and each time I read it gets better and better.

MELINDA GOULD: My son hates reading even struggles with reading due to his slight dyslexia. This is the first book she can't stop reading nor put down. He reads it to me here and there Bravo for getting all readers attention. He finally reads to me without a struggle. I did get this package on time within a reasonable delivery date and before Christmas without any damage. I actually ordered the rest of the series for this book, there could be more and they also came in on time and in excellent condition. A question at the bottom of this review is how old is your child to help other readers but it only goes up to age 5 however my son is 10 my daughter is 11 and they both enjoy this book so I believe this book is for all ages under 13.

Romi: My ten-year-old and I love CatStronauts and he has been counting down the days until this book’s arrival. I felt it got off to a slightly slow start, but it was compelling enough and had the cats’ usual mix of absurd, cute, hilarity. It picked up in the middle. The third quarter of the book was almost too poignant for me and I definitely think this was the most emotionally intense volume for all the CatStronauts (individual characters have, of course, faced deep challenges in past books, but this one involved all of the crew in true peril). My ten-year-old was less affected and, of course, all’s well that ends well for the CatStronauts. We are both looking forward to the next installment.
