From a stray on the streets to the first dog in the stars! Aboard the Russian spacecraft Sputnik 2, Laika became the first living creature to travel to outer space. See the story unfold as one heroic little dog makes a huge sacrifice to help people learn about space travel.
"These picture books retell the stories of famous animals. Sgt. Reckless and Stubby were war heroes, while Laika was the first creature to be sent into outer space, and Scarlett rescued her kittens from a burning building. . . .Larger libraries or those in need of more titles on heroic animals may find this series of use." - School Library Journal

Since she was little, Jeni Wittrock has loved reading, writing, and animals. In 2005, after earning her MFA in creative writing, Jeni began writing and editing children’s books for Capstone Press.

In her spare time, she volunteers for a local rabbit rescue and adoption agency.
