Zoey the chicken persists in her plans to travel to outer space with her best pal, Sam the pig. Pip the mouse is not so enthusiastic: “Sounds dangerous,” he warns. “Not dangerous,” counters Zoey. “An adventure!” Each of the other invited farm animals add to Pip’s skepticism with their own remarks, but that doesn’t dampen Zoey’s spirit—or her imagination, which is what she and Sam use to get off the ground (along with a few balloons). A patterned text and excellent pacing, along with the comical illustrations, make this a great read aloud choice. (Ages 3–7)
