Dr Xargle's Book Of Earthlets - Softcover
This humorous story tells how Dr Xargle instructs his class of aliens on the appearance and habits of "Earthlets" (human babies) before embarking on a field trip to Earth. Bath-time, feeding, and changing nappies are all given a new slant by this alien guide to human behavior.

About the Author:
Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross are the author-illustrator team of numerous books, including Caterpillar Dreams, Daft Bat, Old Dog, Shhh!, and the Smarties Book Prize–winner Tadpole's Promise.
Review:
"Willis's clever and original text will particularly delight older siblings who may also find that babies are a separate species." —Publishers Weekly
"Wickedly funny . . . Ross' bright watercolors are zany and sophisticated, making the most of Willis' wry observations. . . The macabre Twilight Zone ending adds to the fun." —School Library Journal
