Description
More Binky means more fun, with this collection of Ashley Spires's Binky the Space Cat graphic novels.
At last, a box set for fans who can't get enough of lovable Binky, the certified space cat and fearless leader of epic missions (if only in his imagination!). Whether he's single-handedly battling alien invaders (bugs) or painstakingly training a new space cadet (family dog), Binky perseveres until his mission is (sort of?) complete. His hilarious cat's-eye view of the world - and his crucial role in keeping it safe - are unlike any other! And now readers can have all the books in the series in one collection!
Bestselling author and illustrator Ashley Spires is a master of the deadpan humor and physical comedy that keep children roaring with laughter and coming back for more. With limited text and lots of visual humor, this delightful and award-winning graphic novel series is perfect for beginning readers - or anyone who appreciates witty humor (or witty cats!). This limited-edition box set includes the entire Binky the Space Cat series, five titles in all: Binky the Space Cat, Binky to the Rescue, Binky Under Pressure, Binky Takes Charge and Binky: License to Scratch!
