Why read it?
1 author picked Spacebot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book packs so much story into so few words!
I found the short, rhyming phrases unpredictably hilarious. I found that the length of the book made it perfect for that one last book before bedtime (I can get through it in just a couple minutes) or for newly independent readers who want to read the book themselves. The dog main character is so endearing, I fell in love with him immediately.
I enjoyed how playful and silly this book was.
From Taylor's list on picture books starring space pups.
