The theme of this back to school celebration comes from the ridiculously funny graphic novel "The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza" written by Mac Barnet and illustrated by Shawn Harris. Something terrible is happening in the skies! Rats are eating the MOON! There’s only ONE hero for the job, a bold and fearsome beast bioengineered in a secret lab to be the moon’s savior and Earth’s last hope! And that hero is . . . a cat. A cat who will be blasted into space! Accompanied by the imperious Moon Queen and LOZ 4000, a toenail clipping robot, the First Cat in Space journeys across a fantastic lunar landscape in a quest to save the world. Will these unlikely heroes save the moon in time? Can a toenail-clipping robot find its purpose in the vast universe? And will the First Cat in Space ever eat some pizza? The second book in the series, titled "The First Cat in Space and the Soup of Doom" comes out on October 3rd, 2023.
