The Fuzzy Apocalypse (#1)
The Accidental Volcano (#2)
Written by Jonathan Messinger, Illustrated by Aleksei Bitskoff
These books are based on an award-winning podcast which makes them fun to read aloud. However, the illustrations add life to the characters that might not have been conjured up in the imaginations of the target audience. I would best describe these stories as Star Trek for the young ones. The kids on the space station have their own adventures as they explore alien planets and encounter alien beings. Fast paced and humorous, these books would be appreciated most by ages 4-8.
