The story begins with an alien talking about earthlets, which are really babies. He doesn't understand what he's talking about, so she makes it up. She compares them to herself. But she talks about it in a funny way. She said what they winter were they get it. What you should not do and she jokes about it. Like don't drop them or put food in their ear and it's really funny and there's a sheep in the background and the next page has the sheep with no wool. Her class in training but after there done with class they go to earth dressed up the same.

Review: The reason kids love this book is clear: the hilarious pictures and interpretting words of the alien professor. The reason parents happily read it time and again is because it can be appreciated as having meaning: that is, that anyone who is new or "alien" to another culture may misunderstand, misinterpret or misrepresent what he/she is seeing. And I am sure all of us have gone on to tell others what we "know", just as Prof. Xargle did. I lead some great discussions with children after reading this book.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Great present for expectant parents Review: This is supposedly for children, but makes a very fun present for expectant parents- especially first-timers. It provides welcome comic relief from all those "how to be a perfect parent" books!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A wonderful book for the imagination and sense of humor Review: We found this book to be very funny. I think it will be most appreciated by adults who can associate all the double meanings in the book. The younger children will find that just the silliness of the references is funny enough to enjoy it. If they have younger siblings, they may immediatly associate the double meaning to their own family life! Definitely a 5 star book though. We came to know this book when it was featured in our neighborhood library's story hour.
