This volume, reformatted and retitled (originally Here Come the Aliens!) is shaped like a planet and features a conga line of smiling extraterrestrials that wraps around the cover. Striking colors, rounded shapes, and bold lines characterize these "fearsome" creatures. Occasionally shaky rhymes and rhythms are forgiven in light of the fun of the text and its clever surprise ending.
