Ratonauta (Mousetronaut): Basado en una historia (parcialmente) real

by Mark Kelly, C. F. Payne (Illustrator), Alexis Romay (Translator)

Overview

#1 de los más vendidos del New York Times

El astronauta Mark Kelly voló con “ratonautas” en su primer vuelo espacial a bordo del transbordador Endeavour en 2001. Ratonauta cuenta la historia de un ratoncito que lo que más quiere es viajar al espacio exterior. El ratoncito trabaja tan duro como los ratones más grandes para mostrar que está listo para la misión...¡y es escogido para el vuelo! Mientras están en el espacio, los astronautas están ocupados con su misión cuando el desastre los sorprende...y sólo el miembro más pequeño de la tripulación puede salvar el día.

Con ilustraciones vivaces del galardonado artista C. F. Payne, Ratonauta es una encantadora historia sobre la perseverancia, el coraje ¡y la importancia de los pequeños!
