Tate Tuber, Space Spud

Description: "Tate Tuber is a potato who wants to be an astronaut, but when he gets his chance to go on a mission, it is not what he expected"--

Review Quotes: Clear cartoon illustrations and generously sized frames emphasize the story's lighthearted feel. . . .A final page with science facts and suggestions for activities is nicely pitched to the audience. Energetic and zany with an a-peel-ing hero.
--Kirkus Reviews

This graphic early reader is sure to please young ones who will root for this enthusiastic spud. . . . Illustrations use light and shading to good advantage and have wonderfully expressive and diverse characters. . . .A fun pick for the early reader section. Readers will enjoy Tate and his offspring's zaniness and the passion they apply to everything they do.
--School Library Journal

This silly, joke-filled early reader comic is a good choice for kids not quite ready to tackle The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza independently, with a shorter page count and wider spacing around the text. Tate's comical facial expressions are a particularly fun component of the playful artwork in this approachable, entertaining graphic novel.
