(4) K-3 A spaceship with unknown motives approaches Earth and lands in a neighborhood. Busy, colorful comics-style illustrations depict hysterical adults expecting the worst ("SECURE THE PERIMETER!"; "THE END HAS COME!"), while the voice of reason, ironically, comes from a small boy. The sweet, lighthearted ending teaches a rather heavy-handed (but important) message about not rushing to judgment.
