SPACE SHIP UNDER THE APPLE TREE (AMAZING SPACE SHIP ADVENTURES)

Rating:
Summary: A great series to excite the mind of a five year old!
Review: I read this book and the rest of the series to my five year old son and we were both smitten. My son loved the timeless relationship between Eddie and his alien friend Marty. He even started wearing green pajamas to pretend he was marty! It's been over a year since we have read the series and my son still remembers them vividly. We checked them our through the local library and have been searching for our own copies ever since. Note to publishers: Please consider re-releasing this series. While it is wonderful to read the previous reviews, they are all about fond remembrances. In my home, in 1999, we have a living breathing child who took these books to bed with him every night.

Summary: A Wonderful Book!
Review: I would love to use this book for a junior book discussion--the only problem is its not in print. This story is timeless. Please issue a reprint.

Review: Remembering my first book is like remembering my first love. I don't remember the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th book I read? Space Ship might not have the been the first one I read, but it was the first one I remember with fondness. It made reading come alive. I'm considering illustrating children's books and I'd love to read that "old favorite of mine" to recapture the spell it gave an 8 year old girl. It's time for a reprint for the younger generation to enjoy (with a message too).

Summary: Wow! This book is EXCELLENT!
Review: Slodbodkin's Marty and Eddie books were pretty much the only reason that kept me in the town's small library as a kid...I couldn't get enough of these books that I happened to find one day on the library shelves. During college, I failed to find any copies as I couldn't remember the author or the book title...the only name I remembered was "Marty" - a name too common for children's science fiction. I'd given up the search after failing to find them, even at the library of my childhood. Just recently, I remembered to look online (WWW is a wonderful thing) and finally found Marty and Slodbkin! I treasure these stories still (I'm 29), and remember small details that make me smile still during the day...the no-liquid showers and gadgets...only if I could have a supply of those little mini-pill meals! Dieting would be a breeze!

Review: This is the book that started my love of reading. It is about a space alien named Marty that crash landed on Earth and lost the secret power Z. With the help of his new Earth friend Eddie the search begins. Their funny adventures made it hard to put the book down. I even turned my light back on one night after I was supposed to be sleeping so I could keep reading. I have the first two books in the series and definately want to read the rest.
