Pete the Cat is going to Space Camp!

Pete meets his bunk mate, Glenn; their mission starts almost as soon as they arrive. Astronauts talk to them about the trips they’ve taken and give them a sneak peek at some flights planned for the future.

The campers discover what it’s like in space. They go into the zero gravity chamber; they ride in rovers; they build and fly rockets.

In Mission Control, the campers discover a flight is leaving today . . . .

Will Pete get to go to the moon? And what will happen on his space flight?

=========

Young readers will instantly recognize the beloved Pete; delightful illustrations accompany Pete’s space camp antics. Young readers are certain to have fun blasting off with Pete [even if the space exploration isn’t particularly realistic] and learning some basic facts about astronauts and space exploration.

Young readers ages four through eight, preschool through third grade are the targeted audience for this science-based tale. This book works well as a read-aloud story or a shared bedtime tale since several words are likely to be unfamiliar to young readers but older readers may be successful reading independently.

And there are stickers, too!

Highly recommended, especially for fans of Pete the Cat. ( )

This is a really neat book and a good introduction and hook book to get students introduced into space. ( )

This is a fun book about Pete the Cat going to a space camp and all the fun adventures he has while there. It would be a fun book to use to have discussions about space with kids, as it covers space equipment such as rovers, rockets, and uses terms like zero-gravity. It is a very basic book, but could be used to talk about astronauts and scientists who study what is found on the moon.
