Cousin Irv from Mars

32 pp. | Simon | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-4923-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 When his mother's Martian cousin Irv visits, Teddy resents sharing his room and listening to Irv's music; then again, when Irv vaporizes his teacher, Teddy's popularity soars. New Yorker cartoonist Kaplan's spare, angular illustrations are suited to a children's story, but the sardonic finished product amounts to a picture book for adults (Irv carries stress in his neck and doesn't like Earth coffee).
