Mission Katy Cosmik #[nn]

A cheerful, wide-eyed robot grins from the cover of this Québec Amérique release, its mismatched lenses and antenna-equipped head set against a warm orange sky above a rocky alien terrain — exactly the playful, space-faring energy the title Mission Katy Cosmik promises. The sub-series Marsi et Venise hints at planetary adventure, and this grinning mechanical face makes a wonderfully welcoming ambassador for it. A fun 2016 pick for young readers with a taste for robots and cosmic exploration.
