Definitely an improvement from the art in Sgt. Not as realistic as the cover artwork, but the illustrations are still very nice and the different space-dogs are very cute. I also quite enjoyed the artwork in this one, as well. The authors did a good job of portraying Laika herself, and I enjoyed the little details added like the various nicknames the scientists had for her. This one was also well written, and I thought they did a good job of handling the ending in a sensitive manner. It's a quick read, and I'm should would be well-loved by animal lovers of any age (view spoiler) Does it count as a spoiler if it happened in the 60s? Not sure what to say that hasn't been said about the other books in the series.

The more time passes, the more I'm sorry about it. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. "Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. Neither, for that matter, was this statement, made by Oleg Gazenko, one of the scientists on the project: Neither was the moment when the technicians kissed Laika on the nose before her flight. That scene was not included in this book. In reality, the scientists who trained her also cared deeply for her on the night before her fatal flight, one took her home to play with his children.
