"Barnett takes his readers on a fun-filled ride.Barnett's tone throughout the story is humorous, lighthearted, and a little glib, and the over-the-top story is sure to appeal to many readers.an enjoyable romp that will leave readers salivating for the sequel." -- Kirkus Reviews "This volume continues the nonstop madcap fun; returning readers will not be disappointed, and new ones will quickly become avid followers of the world's first feline astronaut. Fans of unbridled, melodramatic tomfoolery will be over the moon." -- Kirkus Reviews "A hilarious graphic novel." -- New York Times "Ridiculously fun and brilliantly illustrated." -- Dav Pilkey, creator of Dog Man and Captain Underpants "With a perfectly absurd premise, dialogue that demands outlandish accents, and a plot that interweaves global history and complete silliness, Barnett royally nails it.

" -- Abby Hanlon, author of the Dory Fantasmagory series "Funny as a crumpet. (But truly, secretly a hundred times smarter.)" -- Jon Scieszka, author of Caldecott Honor The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and the New York Times bestselling series Frank Einstein "In full, vivid color, the loose cartoon style exudes an infectious glee, flawlessly matching Barnett's freewheeling, absurdist humor and plotting." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Readers looking for the outer space high jinks and gentle humor of Brockington's Catstronauts and the imaginative and fantastical worldbuilding of Andrews's This Was Our Pact need look no further than this laugh-out-loud tale of the first cat in space." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "Barnett's knack for both quirky situational humor and heartfelt sentiment work in tandem to create a balanced-while still outrageous-early-chapter-book caper. Lowery's frequent cartoony black, yellow, and blue spot illustrations are integral to the narrative, providing clues to eagle-eyed readers and enhancing the humor." -- The Horn Book.
