Reviews[A] highly stylized gathering of strong color and shadow, loopy lines and angles, and for much of the book, the illustrations speak for themselves. ... Superior artwork. --Kirkus Reviews This ... mash-up of history and fantasy comes attractively tricked out in a deftly composed homage to Soviet visual art design. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books A sweet fact-fiction mix of a picture book. --Booklist The highly stylized blue, gold, and black digital art features bold shapes and perspectives and suggests a sense of Soviet propaganda posters of the era and the drama of space flight. ... [T]he art has a tour de force sweep. --School Library Journal
