Review Quotes

Praise for Waffles and Pancake: Planetary-YUM
"Fans of the original "CatStronauts" series, as well as slightly younger readers, will enjoy this Earth-bound story of these kitten characters . . . this silly, colorful tale will appeal to graphic novel enthusiasts over a wide range of reading levels."--School Library Journal

"Colorful cartoon panels and a science-forward storyline make this spinoff series opener a solid selection."--Kirkus Reviews

"Filled with humorous catchphrases ("That's one small step for cats, one giant pounce for feline-kind") and regular, enthusiastic meal breaks (the family stuffs food into their faces with comedic tenacity), Brockington's anthropomorphic world is rendered in blocky shapes and bright colors."--Publisher's Weekly
