How Do You Pee in Space?

George Brown, Class Clown #13

by Nancy E. Krulik, Aaron Blecha (Illustrations)

A real-life astronaut is coming to Edith B. Sugarman Elementary School, and one lucky kid gets to interview him! Not only that, a trip to a space adventurer program is also up for grabs. To win the contest, students must complete a physical fitness challenge and come up with three interesting questions to ask the astronaut. As always, George intends to beat his rival, Louie. But when the competition heats up, George is too distracted to notice how much the prize means to his best friend, Alex. For George, winning may not be everything this time around.

George Brown - what a kid. Like one of mine.

[Earline · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel really mixed about the George Brown books. Yes there is a lot of unnecessary potty humor, which I expected from the cover of the book, but there is also some intelligent content in there too. I've been looking for some good children's books about outer space, and while I appreciate some of the scientific questions and discussions in this story, I'm just not that thrilled with the other aspects of the story.

Great book im Nancy Krulik's biggest fan

It needs more like George and Alex at the space adventure program and more burps. Other than that great book.
