Age Level: 6 and up | Grade Level: 1 and up | Series: Sardine in Outer Space

Adventures Ahoy!

 

Even cleaning up is an adventure when Sardine comes to town!  Roaming through the galaxy with her space-faring friends, Sardine’s always up for vexing vile villainy and thwarting terrible tyranny -- leaving a little time for baking and bedtime stories, of course!

 

Ten of Sardine’s wacky and wonderful adventures are told in simple, scribbly artwork in this sixth volume of the Sardine in Outer Space series by Emmanuel Guibert.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Piratical guardian Captain Yellow Shoulder and kids Sardine and Little Louie are back for nine more sweetly silly adventures. This time, Guibert gives the nod to a variety of pop-culture icons, including the cell phone, moon pies, and Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants series. The bouncy cartoons, wacky but well-plotted vignettes, and glowing color palette promise to reel in new readers and satisfy young fans. Reading Sardine is about as close as American kids can get to sharing the experience of their French counterparts, who have greater access to such age-appropriate comics. Guibert again provides a satisfying dose of that other world. Grades 3-5. --Francisca Goldsmith

Emmanuel Guibert has written a great many graphic novels for readers young and old, among them the Sardine in Outer Space series and The Professor's Daughter with Joann Sfar.

In 1994, a chance encounter with an American World War II veteran named Alan Cope marked the beginning of a deep friendship and the birth of a great biographical epic.

Another of Guibert's recent works is The Photographer. Showered with awards, translated around the world, it relates a Doctors Without Borders mission in 1980's Afghanistan through the eyes of a great reporter, the late Didier Lefevre.

This review is from: Sardine In Outer Space 6 (Paperback)

Our children - ages girl age 7 and a boy age 5 - LOVE the Sardine in Outer Space series. Sardine 1 starts as a more or less straightforward romp but as the series has progressed the characters have become more self aware and complex. I strongly recommend this book.
