Binky to the Rescue

Binky is a regular house cat.  He has delusions of grandeur.  He thinks he is a space kitty.  His house is a space station.  Insects are aliens.  You get the picture. 

What could be a boring premise actually turns out to be a pretty fun read thanks to Spires adorable drawings and "sound" effects.  Benji had a good giggle at the cat-farts and insults: "Fuzzbutt!"   But he's four. 

This is part of Spires' ongoing Binky series, and this time our flatulent hero has been called to rescue his beloved pet mouse from deep space (the yard) and the evil destroyers (some wasps).  While not exactly riveting, it was a good time, and definitely was requested a second evening before bed.  A nice edition to a YA graphic novel collection at your school/public library but I wouldn't shell out any coin for the hardback at home, unless you've got a series Binky fan on your hands.
