Miss Pickerell to the rescue!,
By
This review is from: Miss Pickerell on the Moon (Paperback)
This is another of the charming adventures of Miss Pickerell.This time, a strange illness threatens the pets of Square Toe County, including Miss Pickerell's beloved cow and her new pet cat Pumpkins. New mold spores have recently been discovered by the crewman of a lunar base, and Miss Pickerell convices the authorities to allow her to journey to the Moon in search of a mold spore cure. The science in the Miss Pickerell series is a bit dated, being written several decades ago, but children's stories with a science backdrop are few and far between. Although not as accurate scientifically, the stories may invoke an interest in science in the younger reader. The sad thing for the older reader who recalls Miss Pickerell from younger days, is that we are nowhere near as advanced in space research and colonization as the series hopes we could be. Still, the adventures are fun. Miss Pickerell has also journeyed to the Arctic, been aboard a Supertanker, helped fix a weather satellite, experimented with submarines, geiger counters, and lasers. Fun for all! |
