George Hogglesberry: Grade School Alien

32 pp. | Tricycle | October, 2002 | Trade ISBN 1-58246-063-9 $$14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chad Cameron. George Hogglesberry, an alien, is so nervous about fitting in at his new Earth school that he can't tell up from down, keeps losing his ears, and accidentally turns himself into inanimate objects. When the fall play comes around, everyone worries that he'll ruin it. Wilson's story, although somewhat unfocused and poorly paced, is full of likable characters, and Cameron's soft, textured collage paintings add to the warmth.
