About this title

Synopsis

The dauntless Space Cat — aka Flyball — and his pal, Colonel Fred, blast off for their most fantastic destination yet! While they're on their way home from Venus, the astronauts are forced to make an emergency landing on Mars. Although Flyball's a bit bored by the Red Planet at first, his curiosity is piqued by its sole surviving fishing cat, a friendly female named Moofa. Will she turn out to be the cat's meow?
This new edition of a charmingly illustrated story is the third of a four-book series starring the intrepid feline known as Space Cat. Young readers will delight in taking a look at space exploration from Flyball's point of view and following his escapades across the solar system.

About the Author

Scottish poet, novelist, and artist Ruthven Todd (1914–1978) is best known as an editor of William Blake's works and an author of children's stories, including four Space Cat adventures. He also wrote detective fiction under the pseudonym R. T. Campbell.
Illustrator and writer Paul Galdone (1907–1986) specialized in children's books. His illustrations for Eve Titus's works include the Basil of Baker Street series. Galdone and Titus were nominated for Caldecott Medals for Anatole (1957) and Anatole and the Cat (1958), titles that were named Caldecott Honor books in 1971. Galdone was posthumously awarded the 1996 Kerlan Award for his contributions to children's literature.
