carladelgado's review against another edition
This was my absolute favorite as a kid. I just randomly thought about it today and wondered if I ever added it to my Goodreads shelf. Apparently not! This book is so WONDERFULLY weird in all the right ways. I've re-read it so many times, I thoroughly enjoyed the crazy adventures!

The third one of my big haul for King's Day! This one is about pirates, a girl who is very strong and smart and not afraid of anything, tons of adventures, villains who aren't the smartest.. but they keep on trying, tons of weird planets, and more. I really enjoyed this one and happy I found it today! The art was a bit strange, but it did fit with the weirdness and silliness of the stories~

SUMMARY: This novel is chock full of action, right from the start, when mischievous Sardine and Uncle Yellow Shoulder escape from the clutches of Doc Krok and Supermuscleman. They make their way back to their spaceship, the Huckleberry, to find that Little Louie brought an aggressive mechanical monkey onboard, and now a handful of other, larger spaceships are out to get the monkey back. Several more adventures occur, one in which Uncle Yellow comes to the aid of an unhappy child. Of course, there is plenty of chasing and fighting with Doc Krok and Supermuscleman, though in the end, it's a botched marriage proposal that causes Uncle Yellow to cry.
EVALUATION: I found this to be very funny, and I enjoyed the setting of "good" pirates in space. A tough hero with a heart of gold has timeless appeal, and the clever Sardine and trouble-attracting Little Louie should entertain both boys and girls. The artwork is crisp, colorful and very well done, as are so many First Second titles.
WHY I WOULD INCLUDE IT: Tweens enjoy humor, and I'm betting that many of them also enjoy pirates. This book (and it continues with a number of popular sequels) contains plenty of silly humor, fun, superhero clichés, and is a great light-hearted read. Also, the publisher includes a lesson plan for teaching art at their web site (http://www.firstsecondbooks.com/teachers/sardineOneLesson.html ).

Captain Yellow Shoulder has a ship full of children he has rescued from the experiments of villains Supermuscleman and Doc Krok, including his niece Sardine. This is the first compilation volume of French comic Sardine in Outer Space. Very cute.

My son doesn't care for reading. I know. It breaks my heart. So I keep trying to find interesting things he might like to read. Someday, something will break through. This one came close. He actually wanted to keep reading.
This is a weird little graphic novel written on a second grade level. Sardine and her uncle, Yellow Shoulder, are trying to escape the evil clutches of Dr. Krok and Supermuscleman. He liked it. And that counts for a lot these days.

I read this out-loud with a couple students and they were constantly giggling. I'd feel hesitant to read this with a larger, or younger, group though because of the language and the slightly more graphic images in some of the stories (there's one specifically where they cut a creature in half and there's blood on the floor). Very, very silly book, but a fun read overall.
