For Laika: The Dog Who Learned the Names of the Stars by Kai Cheng Thom

adventurous emotional

4.0

This was a sweet, tender book about a stray dog reaching for the stars. I always knew about Laika but I didn’t know that she DIED because her SPACESHIP BLEW UP. I felt so sad.. but the book ended on a very sweet note. Now she is among the stars with the pack members that cane before her. 

Of course, she wouldn’t have been up there in the first place if people didn’t BLOW HER UP.
