AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Dot's latest romp takes her literally out of this world when she decides to rescue Whyka, the Russian space dog who is circling Earth trapped in a broken-down satellite. Trading places with Buster, the space monkey, Dot boards the American rocket, Atlanta, and is launched into orbit. She manages to save Whyka but then crash lands on the fantastic planet Pie-Arr-Squared which is ruled by a pompous dictator named Papa Drop. Dot overthrows Papa Drop and brings peace and democracy to Pie-Arr-Squared. Dot and Whyka return to Earth to a hero's welcome.'
