Written by Jon Scieszka and Illustrated by Steven Weinberg
Smithsonian Magazine Best Book of the Year

"Graphs, anatomy charts, and infographics give the pictures and text a tongue-in-cheek gravitas that will have delighted readers returning for more. Weinberg's use of collage is charming. . . [I]n true Scieszka style, the majority of the book is a joyful exploration of what he does best-make the known seem absurd and the absurd seem perfectly reasonable. A funny, ridiculous journey into space infused with a thoughtful ecological message." —School Library Journal
"Scieszka skillfully weaves in facts about climate change and environmental and social commentary into his jet-propelled zaniness, bringing a subtle undercurrent of relevance into a seemingly goofy tale. With its now-familiar collages utilizing a dazzling psychedelic array of color, the series will delight fans, although this volume is a fine jumping-in point for new readers as well. A high energy follow-up proving silly can still be smart." —Kirkus Reviews
