- Reading
- Pause over the illustrations together and invite your reader to compare Basile’s space-adventure interpretation with the clues in the scene.
- Themes
- Imagination and reality: Basile sees himself as a space cat battling aliens, while the story’s illustrations let readers distinguish his interpretation from reality. The text-image contrast is used to create humour and clarify the difference between Basile’s imagined adventure and what is happening.
- Teamwork and escape: Basile, Gordy and Mimi escape the veterinary clinic and face the laboratory’s threat together. Their shared adventure places the animals together as they try to stop the professor and return to their humans.
- Worth knowing
- The pets are left behind while their humans travel, confined at a veterinary clinic and later face an enemy; these separation and adventure-peril elements may be worth noting.
