School Library Journal Review

Gr 2--5--Best friends Tatertoes and Schnozzer return in this stand-alone follow up to Schnozzer & Tatertoes: Take a Hike for another funny adventure--this time in space (sort of). Tatertoes--a white dog with brown ears--wakes up one Saturday morning with an urge for adventure. His friend and roommate Schnozzer--a gray and white schnauzer--suggests a trip to the National Air and Space Museum. While at the museum, Tatertoes (perhaps against his will) learns some fun facts about flight and space travel, which leads to a wacky space adventure involving the Apollo Lunar Module, a trip to the Moon, the president, aliens, and an asteroid. Just when the narrative gets a bit far-fetched, Stromoski brings readers back to Earth with a heartwarming and funny ending. The illustrations are simple yet engaging and match the humorous tone well. VERDICT A first purchase for most collections, this will keep young readers laughing and engaged all the way to space and back.--Kadie Seitz
