Star Ka'at World ¦ Star Ka'ats and the Plant People

These are the second and third adventures in the Star Ka'at series. I feel these books are either a gentle tongue-in-cheek satire on the science fiction worlds of Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and Dr Who or an elaborate joke by two excellent writers of this genre to capitalise on the popularity of this subject with youngsters.

Star Ka'ats are 'a super intelligent race'. In their world, 'robots do all the work'. You can join Jim and Elly Mae (orphans, naturally!) in their adventures with these wildly exacting and creative creatures; unless of course, you've become so absorbed in the chapter describing the thrilling details of the 'kitten food' machine! The illustrations, production and presentation seem to lack enthusiasm. There is already sufficient imaginative and entertaining sci-fi on the market for anybody to waste their money on this series.
