The cute has killed me. ( )

After abandoning his plans for space travel to protect his humans, Binky gave up on any chance for stepping foot outside the space station. That is, until he accidentally falls out of a window. He always knew that being a member of F.U.R.S.T. came with its share of dangers, but space is a dangerous place for a kitty. Luckily his humans come to HIS rescue. Everything returns to normal until - GASP!!! Where's his best friend, Ted? Outside!!! Right beneath the alien spacecraft!!! Will Binky take his chances in outer space, or will his first and only visit spell doom for his mousie?

Ashley Spires does not disappoint in the follow up to Binky the Space Cat. It's as hilarious as its predecessor and its successor - just as gassy, too! ( )

fun, graphic novel where the protagonist Binky must save his best friend Ted from space (outside the house). ( )

Binky the Space Cat is back, and is as busy as ever, protecting his space station and his humans from invading aliens (bugs). When Binky is a little too overzealous in his pursuit of aliens, he falls through the bathroom window and lands (gasp) in outer space. Young readers will love being one up on Binky as they quickly realize that the space station is his house and outer space is the yard. Binky's quick thinking allows him to find an oxygen source (uh, garden hose) just in time, and the panels showing him sucking down air from the hose are priceless. When a swarm of aliens attacks, Binky's human sweeps him up and gets him safely inside, away from the bees, but when Binky realizes that his purple stuffed co-pilot Ted has been left behind in the yard/ outer space, he is determined to rescue his mousie friend. He embarks on a daring plan, involving digging a tunnel from the kitchen floor under the house's foundation and out to the yard (his humans don't notice a thing), and saves Ted in the nick of time. The graphic novel format is easy enough for students making the transition to chapter books, and Binky is just plain hilarious. ( )

Heroic Binky in hot pursuit of alien invaders! ( )
