This was the first children's Graphic Novel I had read, and I highly enjoyed it. The story was adorable. At this point I think it's pretty clear that I really like books about cats, or maybe there are just a lot of books about cats. I don't even have a cat, but all these cat books make me think I should probably go to the animal shelter this weekend and adopt one. Anyway, Binky is the brave protector of his house, until the new dog comes along. Binky thinks the dog is stupid, and then he thinks he's evil, until he finally realizes that the dog just has his own dog way of protecting the house too. It's a cute story of friendship, understanding, and acceptance.

Binky Takes Charge by Ashley Spires is the fourth of the Binky graphic novels. It was nominated for a 2012 CYBILS.

Binky has been promoted by F.U.R.S.T (Felines of the Universe Ready for Space Travel). He's ready to take on a subordinate. He's expecting a kitten but surprise! — it's a DOG! Worse yet, it's a slobbering, un-housebroken puppy. ICK.

Binky does his best to train this puppy but it takes every last piece of his concentration and dignity. Of course nothing is ever what it seems. That little puppy might be up to something.

It's a cute continuation to the series. Fans of the previous books will enjoy seeing the continuing adventures of Binky the space cat and his fight against alien invaders (insects). ( )

Newly promoted Binky is charged with training a canine space cadet. ( )

Z damn near fell over when he saw there was a new Binky at the U Bookstore. He read it one the way home, and treated J and I to a story time tonight. ( )

PSC Review: In the fourth book graphic novel series Binky the Space Cat, Binky has been placed in charge of training new space cats. Imagine his disgust when he discovers that it is not a cat that’s been brought home by his people, but a nasty little dog. Turns out that the dog is on the side of space cats (now space pets) and is a whiz at technology. Filled with bathroom humor, Binky fans will enjoy this book. It is difficult to find good graphic novels for elementary students and Binky is a perfect fit. ( )
