Reviews

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
