Reviews

"Space Cadet Topo has to turn the sun back on and save the galaxy from freezing to death in this picture book by DGPH...The digitally mastered illustrations create a galaxy...full of twists, turns, and traps one would expect to find in classic platform video games." - School Library Journal

“Designer toy collectors will recall seeing Topo in vinyl form...Now, adults, kids, grandparents, animals...they'll all enjoy reading (or hearing) about the Intergalactic Mole. The sci-fi tale features 36 pages of indelible entertainment, with brilliant artwork and an enjoyable story.” – Plastic and Plush

“Indeed, like all of Immedium's books, Space Cadet Topo is an excellent option for parents tired of the repackaged cartoon episode books that fill most bookstores and Scholastic order forms. It passed the key test: My son begged me to read it again after we finished.” – Super Punch

“Those wise owls at Immedium sure know how to spot a cute book when they see one. The latest from them is Space Cadet Topo And The Day The Sun Turned Off, which is a tale of him saving the solar system with his sidekick Tinny Bot. Perfect for little kids or cute-loving bigger kids!” – SuperCuteKawaii

“Immedium is really on a roll. They keep puttin' out books by some of my favorite artists! The newest addition to their lineup is by the awesome Argentinian design duo DGPH. DGPH's Space Cadet Topo is an adventure story filled with super cute illustrations and my favorite little Mole, Topo…The books that Immedium publishes are my favorite - they perfectly pair great stories with art by some of the world's best illustrators. The books appeal to kids, parents, and collectors alike!” – Tokyo Bunnie

‘Space Cadet Topo is a fun-packed, enjoyable and incredibly imaginative tale of against all odds valor that takes you on an amazing journey of galactic proportions…This is a roller-coaster of a book. The story bolts you in and the illustrations take you on this amazing ride through space as our hero tries to save the universe. At times throughout the book I felt as if I were immersed in a video-game game; climbing through mazes, discovering new characters, testing my abilities…The crisp illustrations are littered with so many fun elements that will have kids (and adults) reading this story over and over again, each time discovering something new.”- I Like Characters
