Summary

Another hilarious picture book tie-in to the award-winning Agent Binky: Pets of the Universe animated TV series.

Binky the space cat – better known to his fellow space pets as Agent Binky – has always wondered what goes on at the dog park. His fellow agent Gordon goes there every day with Small Human, but the rest of the team, being indoor pets, aren’t allowed. Then it hits him – why shouldn’t they all be able to see it for themselves? It’s a new secret mission! They’ll go where no cat nor turtle nor goldfish has gone before! And Gordon will help them get there by designing a robot that everyone can fit inside that looks and acts like a dog. What could possibly go wrong?

This laugh-out-loud adventure story is adapted from an episode of the Agent Binky: Pets of the Universe animated TV series, based on Ashley Spires’s bestselling and award-winning Binky Adventure graphic novel series. Binky is in top form here, embarking on his latest mission as only Agent Binky can!
