Laika the Astronaut cover

Discover the amazing adventure of one incredible dog!

Laika is a homeless stray living on the streets of Moscow when she is picked by the Space Programme to be the first ever animal launched into orbit! But her rocket disappears and everyone thinks Laika is lost forever. Now you'll discover in Owen Davey's imaginative story that Laika was rescued by a loving new owner and found her true home on a planet far, far away.

There is also plenty to explore in Owen Davey's Laika the Astronaut - the artwork gives the story of Laika the canine astronaut real charm. Laika is plucked from the streets of Moscow and launched into space only to be seemingly lost forever when things go wrong. Davey gives a delightful alternative ending which children and adults alike will appreciate. -- The Bookseller * VANESSA LEWIS *
