About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the fallout of a rushed project or needs to understand that even 'experts' make mistakes when they stop communicating. It is an ideal choice for the elementary schooler who loves science but sometimes lacks the patience to follow instructions, or for the child who is learning how to balance individual ambition with team responsibilities. In this installment, Pom Pom's enthusiasm for scientific discovery leads to a series of experimental mishaps on the International Space Station just as the support team on Earth takes a break. The story explores themes of resilience and self-reliance as the cats must navigate a crisis without their usual guidance. It is a humorous, fast-paced graphic novel that normalizes the trial and error process, making it a perfect fit for ages 7 to 10. Parents will appreciate how it frames science as a messy, exciting, and collaborative endeavor rather than just a set of rigid facts.
