Items related to Here Come the Aliens!
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.

About the Author:
A renowned poet and one of Britain's leading illustrators and authors.
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

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Charles McNaughton (illustrator). A verse story about aliens invading the Earth. The aliens are coming! A fleet of spaceships, full of fearsome creatures, is heading towards Earth - and what a bizarre bunch these aliens are. They come in all shapes and sizes: some are tall, some are squat; some are wobbly like jelly, some have two heads, some have eyeballs stuck on stalks; some are bald, some are hairy; some are purple, some blue, some sickly green; some squeak, some squawk, some squelch and all of them slobber quite revoltingly when they eat. They're ugly and mean and they've only got one thing in their simple brains: to conquer the human race. But, what's this? A piece of paper floats by them as they approach Earth and, suddenly the aliens are going! What could it be that sends them into such hasty retreat? Why, a picture of a class of human schoolchildren! Colin McNaughton has written and illustrated "There's an Awful Lot of Weirdos in our Neighbourhood", "Who's Been Sleeping in My Porridge?" and "Making Friends with Frankenstein" (winner of the 1994 British Book Design and Production Children's Book Award), "Have You Seen Who's Just Moved In Next Door To Us?(winner of the 1991 Emil/Kurt Maschler Award), "Jolly.
