This is such an adorable, fun, funny, cute, and exciting graphic novel!
It has some serious Dog Man vibes, but there are cats. Also, doesn’t everyone love cats? Quirky, weird, fun, silly, and their crazy adventures.
I think all pre-schoolers and all middle-graders are going to love this one.
The art is quite unique, I feel like it might be appealing to younger readers who might want to recreate the art in their own style. Bonus points for all text being in caps lock and in an easy-to-read font, making it easier for beginner readers to get through the book on their own.
Mac Barnett is my author crush! I love absolutely everything he does and was super excited to see another First Cat book! Soup of Doom did not disappoint and I'm so excited to share this with my students when it comes out!
Great graphic novel for kids. Funny, lively, a twist at the end, and a lot of fun jokes. It's a great book for kids who love to read or trying to.
Just as adorable and funny as the first book. I am so happy to see the story continue. The art draws you in but the funny and action packed story keeps you engaged.
Just as adorable as "The First Cat in Space At Pizza".
The queen is poisoned with her daily soup and must travel to find a cure before it is to late.
All the favorites are back and join in the adventure.
Highly recommended and looking forward to The First Cat in Space 3.
Thanks to @netgalleybfor the opportunity to read this eArc in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
This was adorable. I loved it and see my middle schoolers loving it too. The story is silly and fun but has enough action you won't get bored. The art fits the story perfectly. I loved it.

This one is pure fun, a series I'm surprised I haven't heard more about already.
Mac Barnett, prolific author and illustrator very well-represented in several sections of my library, gives us the second installment in the First Cat in Space series. In this one, the titular cat witnesses an attempt to poison the Queen of the Moon with the also titular soup, and accompanies her on a quest to find both her poisoner and protection from the soup's ills.
Equal parts Dog Man and Adventure Time, this one will easily find an audience among devoted readers of those two series, Babymouse, and Narhwal and Jelly. The simple-seeming illustrations, like Dog Man, give kid readers a sense of "I could create this, too" while still moving the story forward with compelling (and really silly and enjoyable) action sequences.
I'm eagerly anticipating getting the physical copy of this one, as well as the first book in the series, for my Dog Man devotees needing a new silly animal hero.
