Alien Invasion: The Complete Guide to Having Children [Paperback]

Steven Appleby (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 21, 2000

From the brilliant cartoonist Steven Appleby, the truth about what children really are and how they really affect your life...

Forget those old wives' tales about the stork, babies actually arrive in alien spacecraft from a distant galaxy. But don't be afraid-this book will teach you everything you need to know: how to communicate with them; change them; feed them; hire a babysitter and how to send them away to school. If you've forgotten what it was like to be a child, or if you never were one, this book lets you know what you are in for.

Alien Invasion is a hilarious must-read for any parent or parent-to-be.
