Bookroo's summary
Rufus the Pig, an adventurous soul who once sailed the seas, now dreams of exploring the cosmos. But when he arrives at the space center, Commander Luna insists, "No pigs in space!" Rufus's hopes seem dashed until an unexpected opportunity arises: a mission to read live from Mars. Can Rufus prove he's the perfect pig for the job and finally achieve his interstellar dreams? Join Rufus on a whimsical journey where determination meets the stars, and discover if he can turn "no" into a cosmic "yes."
From the publisher
Rufus the Pig has already sailed the seven seas on a pirate ship. Now he dreams of the Moon, the stars, and Mars! So he bids his mateys goodbye and reports for duty at the space center. But Commander Luna tells him: “No pigs in space!” Then Luna needs someone to read a book live from the Red Planet–or the mission’s scrubbed. Will Rufus finally blast off?
