Rufus Blasts Off!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Valeri Gorbachev. In previous books, pig Rufus has been to school and aboard a pirate ship; now he's ready for a new frontier: space. Unfortunately, the space center has a no-pigs policy ("pigs pester the pilot," etc.). Rufus's ability to read overturns that policy--and is part of the Rufus books' charm. Gorbachev's ink and watercolor illustrations make Mars look as inviting as a rumpus room.
