Bøger af Mac Barnett

Svend og Valdemar har en plan. De vil finde noget ekstraordinært. Så de graver et hul. Og de gi’r ikke op. Selv om de finder … ingenting. Alligevel er historien en spektakulær oplevelse, især for den vakse læser, der vil klukke over at finde det spektakulære helt andre steder, end Svend dog Valdemar kigger. Skæg, skøn og skæv historie med billedside af Jon Klassen (Hvor er min hat og Det er ikke min hat).

Noget ganske forfærdeligt er ved at ske på himlen – rotter spiser Månen! Der er kun ÉN helt, der kan klare en opgave som denne, et frygtløst og frygtindgydende bæst, der er blevet designet og skabt i et laboratorie med det ene formål at være Månens redning og Jordens sidste håb. Og den helt er… en kat. En kat, der skal skydes ud i rummet! Sammen med den kongelige højhed, Moon Queen og LOZ 4000, en tånegleklippe-robot, rejser den første kat i rummet igennem det fantastiske månelandskab på en livsvigtig mission for at redde verden. Vil det lykkes denne mærkværdige gruppe af helte at redde Månen i tide? Kan en tånegleklippe-robot finde sit livs formål i det enorme univers? Og vil den første kat i rummet nogensinde æde noget pizza? Den første kat i rummet åd pizza startede som en live-cartoon på Instagram, der blev ekstremt populær under Covid-lockdown i USA, og som nu udkommer som graphic novel. Indtil videre er der varslet to bøger i serien.
