PS
Alien tourists hoping to see "a most unusual creature known as a 'human'" mistake a zoo for "the whole planet." Luckily, their handy Aliens' Guide to Earth helps them distinguish a tiger, penguins, and a giraffe from humans. Layton's lavish generosity with happy colors will provoke grins as wide as that of the toothy "human" our space friends finally photograph--a hairy, banana-eating creature.
