"The other day, I woke up on the wrong planet," the young narrator begins. Á la The Wizard of Oz, our hero just wants to go home. Young readers will figure out long before Monty that it's all a vivid dream, giving them a knowing edge. Cheerful cartoon illustrations indulge completely in the offbeat while retaining a simplicity of shape and composition.
