4.0 out of 5 stars Funny!, August 26, 2001

This review is from: Planet of the Nose Pickers (L.A.F. Books) (Paperback)

(Based on comments of 10 year old boy.) This book is the second in a series of four so far (NP from Outer Space, Planet of the NPs, Invasion of the NPs, and Your Mummy is a NP). The main gag in the whole series is that the aliens look like they are picking their noses, but they are really operating internal nose computers. I think the best of the series is Invasion of the NPs, but they are all good. In this book the boy, Devin, and the alien exchange student, Stan, go to planet Pan and must convince the Grand Pant that Earth is the best tourist spot. If they don't, then earth will be moved past Pluto.

This review is from: Planet of the Nose Pickers (L.A.F. Books) (Paperback)

I am a nine-year old boy and I love the stories about the nosepickers. This book is the second book by Korman that talks about the nosepickers from space. I liked this book as much as the first and I especially like the character Stan. My friends and I in the 3rd grade really like these books and they can't wait to take turns borrowing my book because I got it first thanks to Amazon.com and my mom. Buy this book for your kids.
