Space Cat 
(I Can Read Book) 
By Doug Cushman

     Move over Flash Gordon, Space Cat’s here, and he’s ready to entertain and amuse the next generation of Space enthusiasts.

     Space Cat and his robot, Earl, are flying home in their rocket. Something terrible happens to the rocket on the way to earth. Space Cat has to land on a planet he doesn’t recognize and talk with a king he’s never met. The BIG, green king wants Space Cat to stay on his planet. What will Space Cat and Earl do? Will they ever see earth again?

     Space Cat is a selection of the “I Can Read Book” series, a series every child should be introduced to. The illustrations are bright and fun to look at, and the sentences easy to sound out and comprehend.

    Cushman dedicates his book to Flash Gordon, Fritz Lang and the crew of the Starship Enterprise. A colorful Flash Gordon comes to mind as I look at Space Cat. Cushman does a wonderful job of bringing Space down to earth for the little ones. Highly recommended.
