I mostly like this book. I really like the illustrations. I think they’re well done and fun and attention grabbing. However, the font is horrible. It is very hard to read and should just be used for the title page. The story isn’t bad, but it ends abruptly. There is a cadence similar to the Night Before Christmas but tt is missed in some spots the the rhythm is broken. This could also be the reader reading the wrong word because they can’t tell the difference in the font and the size the words are in.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.

This was a rhyming story about a boy who is visited by aliens from space who are rather mischievous and basically ruin his show and tell at school. The rhymes flowed really well in spite of the formatting issues I encountered by reading a review copy. I imagine the formatting makes the line ends a bit more obvious in the published copy. And the story was fun.

The illustrations had 50s sitcom vibes. They felt very old school in style choices for the humans at least. They were very bold and colorful too though. Bright colors all over the place. I'd be okay reading this book a few times because it really was a fun story and there weren't serious issues with the rhyming tripping me up. Overall I give this book 3.97 out of 5 stars.

This is an interesting story about aliens coming to visit a kid and pulling many pranks on him during their visit

Illustrations are vibrant. My eyes thought fun!

The story starts out well, was going strong and out of literally no where stops.

There are questions and a few activities at the back of the book. I thought some of the questions resembled homework and some had me wondering the point.

While I really liked the illustrations, the story is a miss for me.

Learn about the cosmos in this adorable children's book as aliens emerge from a green mist and wreak havoc in young Michael's life. Space-obsessed Michael is pleased to find these comical creatures until they start sharing his deepest, darkest secrets!

Marilee Joy Mayfield pairs a fun rhyming system with scientific vocabulary to create intrigue, humour and excitement. Featuring bright, engaging illustrations by Randy Jennings, children will be sure to imitate the alien's silly speaking and giggle the whole way through!

The excitement is stifled only by the quirky choice of font in this book, which may add to the odd alien atmosphere, but ultimately interrupts flow of reading.

Nevertheless, a delightful sci-fi book, perfect for children with a fascination with space or those looking for a little laugh. With questions at the end to engage little readers in the story and check their comprehension.

I really like books that have interactions in them. This is the story of Michael always wondered what it would be like to meet aliens. Well one day he does unfortunately they are mischievous. It is a fun rhyming book and the illustrations are very cute and colorful. In the back of the book it has questions to ask related to aliens and space to form a dialog with your child or classroom. I also think the wording on the blackboard was very clever. I highly recommend this book for ages 3-7.

This story was pretty cute. I think the part I enjoyed most was that at the end includes discussion questions that you can use for a read aloud. I think the illustrator did a pretty nice job. The aliens were adorable. I think my peeve is I don’t personally like the font chosen. As someone who teaches struggling readers, I prefer to have a font using proper capitalization.

The first thing I noticed about this book was… the font. The font that was chosen for the text inside the book. It is quite hard to read. Yes, it is a pretty font, but it makes reading the short text of the book very, very difficult even for a grownup who usually has no issues with reading whatsoever. I showed to book to my almost 10yr old and she said nope, not reading that. So, the font is sort of an issue here.
Font aside, the text is lovely. The pictures are darling.
The story is fun.
I loved the questions at the end of the book, it is a nice way to revisit the story and see what else is there.
