Book 10

The Space Station

by Peter Lippman

Published 1 May 1999
It's a book. It's a toy. It's a collectible. It's a Mini House Book ! Now with over 2.1 million copies in print, this is the series that's become bigger, stronger, and more in demand with each new title. Kids just love to hold them, open them, get inside and read them. And parents have been buying not just one, but the whole set. Think Beanie Babies.

The tenth and newest title, The Space Station is a treat for little kids interested in astronauts, outer space, Pathfinder's travels on Mars, and John Glenn's historic flight on Discovery. Die-cut in the shape of a space station, with portholes and an antenna - even a little blue planet Earth floating above - this Mini House Book tells a rhyming story about a trio of astrodogs and their robot helper as they observe the lunar sky, get caught in a meteor shower, then zoom off to Planet X to collect samples.

No gravity; no problem. For a super space-age pup. This well-trained crew knows what to do. (Even down-side up!)

Illustrated with Peter Lippman's delightful, colorful drawings of the imaginative space station and the starry deep beyond, it's a Mini House Book that's also an adventure - and even includes a surprise ending.
