Voyage of the Dogs Reviews
The best word I can come up with to describe this one is sweet. These are four Very Good Dogs, doing whatever they can to complete their mission. They care about each other, just like they cared about their humans. I'm not sure exactly how van Eekhout did it, but he makes you want to r...
This is a perfect book. Addendum a few hours later: I miss reading this book... It was totally absorbing, and if I'd read it when I was twelve, it would have unquestionably been my favorite book. ...
This is a fabulous concept for an MG adventure novel ? dogs in space! Companion-dogs forced to rescue themselves when their humans go missing! ? and it?s carried off SO well. I actually know Greg, so I already knew that he had dogs of his own, but even if I hadn?t known him ...
If you love dogs and love desperate voyages of a handful of survivors on board a crippled spacecraft who never give up hope but keep on doing their best because they are Good Dogs gosh darn it...and even though I don't care that much for dogs in general I am a sucker for any sort of ch...
E ARC from Edelweiss Plus The Laika is on mission Stepping Stone, traveling outside the solar system to set up a new planet. In addition to the human crew, animals, and plants, there are some very loyal dogs, because where there are humans, there HAVE to be dogs! Since the journ...
12/19/2018 ~ Oh, the power of stories. Lopside, a Barkonaut, listens and re-listens to audio recordings from the Great Book of Dogs on his lost human's tablet, because listening gives him and his packmates the strength to continue their mission. Story is powerful; story helps each of u...
4+, verging on 5. A charming SF book for young people of all ages! Such a wonderful change from dystopic SF. Who could resist a book about a spaceship full of dogs, abandoned by the human crew and determined to save themselves and their ship? It was an outrageously cute idea, but coul...
I'll just say this up front, because I'm one of the people for whom this is important: No dogs die in this book. We do get the story of Laika*, told by one of the dogs to the others so that, at a critical point, they can make an informed choice, but Greg Van Eekhout kills none of his f...
I need to get over bad or incomplete science in books for middle graders. I mean, this was a good, solid space adventure starring dogs for goodness' sake and all I'm worrying about is who tested all the flora and fauna on Stepping Stone to ensure they were safe to eat. Like, seriously,...
? ? ? 1/2 (rounded up) This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader. --- Of course, the humans couldn't go alone. There had to be dogs. Because wherever humans went dogs came along. Like rats, only more helpful. Dogs would herd livestock. Dogs would keep watch against...
4 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2018/09/30/... Middle Grade fiction isn?t an age category I typically go for, but I?m a big fan of Greg Van Eekhout and when I saw the premise of Voyage of the Dogs I just couldn?t resist. This book was just too darn ...

Reseña completa: https://goo.gl/4nF9VY Un consejo antes de que se embarquen a leer este libro, corran por su mascota, la van a necesitar además de unos pañuelos. Pospuse un tiempo la lectura de este libro pensando que sería una aventura palomera sobre viajes espaciales, con l...
Lopside, Champion, Bug, and Daisy are the Barkonauts and they will finish their mission. This story was so amazingly adorable I wanted to hold up the book and wave it around in a room full of book enthusiasts and say "YOU MUST READ THIS!" Kids will love it, but so will adults who ca...
Review courtesy of my eight-year-old: I loved it! This book is a mix of funny, adventure, and sadness. There were lots of really sad parts. I liked how there were tons of details and how the dogs were super smart. I'm pretty sure the most funny part was where the dog burped a song. I...
ARC provided by Edelweiss+ in exchange for an honest review REVIEW IN ENGLISH This is was a fun and sometimes deep and emotional adventure. Lopside is a barkonaut -a dog that has been trained to help and resolve problems on missions in space. He is part of a crew in the space...
"A sad story could be like a gentle scritch behind the ears. It told him that he was not alone." So so so enjoyed this book. ...
This is a lovely little book about a group of Very Good Dogs. On a spaceship. They got left behind by the humans on the ship, but they're determined to complete their mission. This is a middle-grade book, but if you need a pick-me-up or a unicorn chaser in these dark times, read...
Literally Homeward Bound meets Gravity. So cute. But also wow, stressful. Kids are going to love it. ...- Thank you HarperChildrens for the Goodreads Giveaway! What a fun read. I really enjoyed it. The book felt like a version of The Martian but for children and with dogs as the main characters. That was a great mash-up for me! I love space adventures and I love dogs. The dogs personalitie...
So, I've now read this twice in the last 2 months. Being the utter sap that I am, I cried both times when they sent out the "We are the dogs. We are alone." message. Still loved every OMG-how-can-they-possibly-survive-this page. Because, dogs. In space! Also, they can talk. Well, they'...
Okay, so I received an advance readers edition of this book for free and am under no obligation so you will hear my unadulterated opinion on it. What interested me the most about reading it is found on the cover, "To boldly go where no dog has gone before." Yup, I'm a Star Trek fan alt...
Really freaking cute and perfect for kids wanting to try a mild sci-fi book. Also, anything with Barkonauts will be easy to hand to nervous readers. This was recommended to me by a 3rd grade girl and her dad who both read and loved it. So glad I listened. ...
Voyage of the Dog(go)s is just so delightful and imaginative. Everything from the personalities of the pups to the descriptions of just how they managed to use tools and repair spaceship parts had me suspending all disbelief and just enjoying the ride! ...
I added this book to my "not for the faint of heart" shelf not for gore or violence, but for Feels. Yes indeed, I am offering a trigger warning for those of you with All The Feels. I honestly wanted to burst into tears more than once. My six-year-old actually did burst into tears a...
Cute story for fans of books about dogs and outer space! ...

This is a delightful space adventure that has many of the ingredients to ensure success. The cast of Barkonauts is varied in personality and physical attributes, but they all retain the most essential quality that dogs can offer - undying loyalty, selflessness, and love. We may be in t...- Where there are humans there are dogs, also where there are humans there are rats, or so Lopside has been led to believe but on the Spacecraft Laika he hasn't seen a single rodent. The Spacecraft Laika is traveling to a new world to start a human colony; it holds many crew, some far...
This book is amazing, stunning, and altogether the best sci-fi book I have ever read and ever will read. I'm a big fan of dogs- they're the center of my world. Sci-fi? Not so much. I've always been a little iffy on that genre and never really enjoyed any of their movies or books very ...
