Review

It is the year 3043 and our intrepid Space Dog is heading home. But along the way he solves the problems on many planets - from Bottleopolis drowning in milk to Cornflake 5 drying up. Space Dogs, Astro Cats and Moustronauts have been sworn enemies for centuries. As this story unfolds Space Dog flying solo on the SS Kennel playing Dogopoly alone - soon finds an Astro Cat in distress. He doesn't have time to think about enemies - he saves the day - and off the duo fly. Soon dog and cat are saving Moustronaut - and sworn friends have been united ---playing Dogopoly together. Fans of Traction Man will enjoy the tale of this trio. The design of the book is in a comic book style. The pages are very busy (from the end pages) and will be poured over for hours to catch all the details. Fun is in store for all readers.

Overall Book Score: good
