Laika is a stray dog living on the streets of Moscow when she is chosen to be the first ever animal launched into orbit. But her rocket disappears, and everyone thinks Laika is lost forever. In Owen Davey’s imaginative take on a true story, Laika is rescued by new owners and finds the perfect home on a planet far, far away.
Why I like this book: Laika brings in the topic of space exploration and testing new technologies. Parents can use this book to start conversations about these often difficult topics
