Space Taxi series.
Illustrated by
Keith Frawley.
Archie's talking cat, Pockets, is getting an award for bravery, but something isn't right with the ceremony at Akbar's Floating Rest Stop (B.U.R.P.). The navigation system of Archie's father's space taxi goes kaput, stranding passengers--on Earth (Aliens). The accessible plots wend their way through incidents both weird and funny; black-and-white illustrations and science facts "to impress your friends and teachers" are included. Review covers these Space Taxi titles: Aliens on Earth and B.U.R.P. Strikes Back.

Based on the How to Train Your Dragon film franchise's Book of Dragons, this volume profiles familiar species, including Night Fury and Gronckle, and introduces new ones such as the Bewilderbeast and the Seashocker. The simple text doesn't offer much that fans don't already know, but they'll be dazzled by this elaborate production's tactile illustrations on heavy paper stock.

Super Schnoz, Vivian, and the Not-Right Brothers (Super Schnoz and the Gates of Smell) are back! This time, they must use Schnoz's gigantic nose to prevent evil aliens from using Schnoz's earthquake-level snores to destroy civilization. While many kids will enjoy the booger-based humor, the team's wacky superhero antics, and Frawley's silly cartoons, parts of this less-cohesive second story feel contrived.
