Man your battle stations! A fleet of spaceships is heading this way, and each extraterrestrial crew is stranger than the next. Colin McNaughton's aliens may be a scary bunch, but we've got a hunch that earthlings everywhere will flip for them. Full color.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-4?Readers who enjoy McNaughton's gleefully juvenile sense of humor will find him in top form here, introducing in rhyme the members of an alien fleet hurtling toward our unsuspecting planet?"The first mate looks like wobbly jelly,/He's sort of gaseous and he's smelly;/He has an eyeball on his belly!..." Waving a variety of appendages, the corpulent, warty crew smiles up from the pages in a googly-eyed, predatory way. Is it curtains for humanity? No, wait! The aliens find an orbiting artifact that sends them into panic-stricken retreat. It's...it's?oh, the horror!?a school picture: 39 grimacing, eye-poking, hair-pulling, tongue-waggling?and in one case, vomiting?four-year-old children. We're saved. Books such as Tony Ross's I'm Coming to Get You! (Dial, 1987) and Colin Hawkins's Spooks (HarperCollins, 1994) seem restrained in comparison. Fans of low humor will give this high marks.?John Peters, New York Public Library

Great fun with rhyme, alien characters and surprise ending,
By Holly (Logan, Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Here Come the Aliens! (Paperback)
We checked this book out at our local libary and it has become a regular at our home. Our six-year -old has memorized the first half of the book and quotes it for us! It is written in a fun rhyming style. The illustrations are colorful and imaginative, depicting various forms of aliens, all bent on conquering Earth! Watch out though. It turns out Earth has a secret weapon that sends the aliens running back home as fast as their various body forms can take them! We hope we can buy our own copy of this book ASAP!
