Illustrated by
Robert Neubecker.
In their third imaginary interplanetary adventure (following Space Boy and the Space Pirate), Niko, dog Tag, and toy robot Radar encounter the fearsome Snow Monster from Planet Ice (a.k.a. Niko's sister, Posh), who takes Radar captive. Curtis's energetic, very funny text stays true to Niko's perspective. Neubecker's lively digital illustrations strike the right balance between what's actually happening in their snow-covered backyard and what's pretend play.
