Space Dogs- Adapted by Jamie White



Space Dog Martha must save the planet of dogs from the Space Cats but is mistaken for an alien invader. She must save the Planet of Dogs without getting locked away for being an invader and make it back to earth to help her human friends, T.D. and Helen their class projects on the solar system.


The features of this book that make it science fiction are the aspects that involve space travel and animals in space. The author creates new planets, one for dogs and one for cats. The book has other science fiction aspects such as aliens. While the main characters, T.D. and Helen, help their dog save the Planet of Dogs, they learn about the solar system. Although there are some planets and aliens that make the book science fiction, there is also parts of the book that teach children about the real solar system.
