Illustrated by
Mark Fearing.
Mama Alien sends her children off to find a planet of their own, warning against the Big Bad Robot. When the Big Bad Robot comes, Bork and Gork seek refuge at Nklxwcyz's sturdy self-made house. Funny details abound in Fearing's digital collage illustrations and in McNamara's text, which concludes with the aliens deciding to "phone home" to Mama for a bedtime story.
