Synopsis:

Professor Xargle teaches his class of extraterrestrials about travel on Earth, as it must seem to a resident of outer space

From School Library Journal: Kindergarten-Grade 3-- Ever wonder how we might appear to extraterrestrials when occupied in various forms of locomotion? Here, translated into Human, are Professor Xargle's observations of the various phenomena, from an alien's viewpoint. Readers are privileged to watch the amusing goings-on as he describes two-wheel spinners (bikes), stinkfumers (automobiles), bucking broncos, and more to his class of tentacled, green pupils. Both text and illustrations are extremely funny: the deadpan explanations of Earthlings' peculiarities and Ross's patented brand of cartoon craziness are wonderfully matched. Make sure readers don't miss the train conductor who has just punched the passenger's tie along with his ticket. Great fun. --Joan McGrath, Education Centre Lib , Toronto, Ontario, Canada
