Reviews for Oh No, Astro!
“The precocious narration...coupled with Astro’s arch speaking style...is great fun to read aloud, and fellow newcomer Woodard’s Jetsons-esque style and bright palette bring just the right Space Age atmosphere to the story.”
Publishers Weekly "Informative, dynamic, rich in vocabulary, and quite funny."
Kirkus Reviews "On the first read-through, some of the physics involved may be a bit complex for younger readers, although a spread of “Space Facts” at the end will help clear up lingering questions and perhaps pique the interest of would-be scientists. But this won’t keep even the most science-averse young readers from enjoying the unamused Astro’s voyage through the galaxy, or from demanding another read."
Booklist "A fun story for adventure seekers and space fans."
