K-3
Pop Classics series.
Illustrated by
Kim Smith.
Elliott and siblings hide their new extraterrestrial friend until he can find a way home(E.T.). A young Dana Scully and scaredy-cat friend Fox Mulder encounter aliens while backyard camping (X-Files). Nostalgic parents will most enjoy these bland pop-culture picture books, a retelling of the classic eighties film and a takeoff on characters from the nineties sci-fi show. Smith's slick art cartoonishly depicts the iconic characters. Review covers these Pop Classics titles: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and The X-Files.
