Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3–Fans of the authors Zack Files series (Grosset & Dunlap) will be delighted with this fast-paced science-fiction adventure thats full of goofy humor. Klatu and his brother and sister have mistakenly crashed their spaceship into the Nevada desert. Hilarious dialogue among the space aliens and the humans they meet follows as Ploo is captured and taken to an army base for study. Klatu and Lek use all the tricks at their disposal to retrieve her, including morphing into human form and chewing English-language gum to communicate with the earthlings. Ploo is rescued by a human girl who proves herself less prejudiced than her adult counterparts. The text is peppered with funny, easily translated alien vocabulary, and the large print and short declarative sentences will be accessible to emerging readers. The book even sneaks in an antismoking message and a short history lesson. Readers will not be able to resist these appealing googly-eyed extraterrestrials with distinct personalities, and the gentle subliminal message that being different is not necessarily bad or scary is welcome. This is a perfect book for those who are beyond easy readers but not yet ready for intermediate fiction.–Quinby Frank, formerly at Green Hedges School, Vienna, VA

This review is from: Dude, Where's My Spaceship? (Weird Planet, No. 1) (Paperback)
My 6y son read the whole thing in two nights.. easy and entertaining; has the word 'stupid' a couple of times but other than that is a good reading.
