(2) PS Savage's well-paced picture-book homage to campy sci-fi imagines a space alien babysitting two Earth siblings. At first the children are somewhat uneasy to be left alone with the creature, but their feelings quickly turn to awe and delight. Digital illustrations in a subdued color palette enhance the retro flair, with the family's all-angles mid-century modern house being the perfect backdrop to welcome this benevolent, care-taking space alien.
