A funny, off kilter look at how space aliens tackle trick or treat. Fun illustrations and wonderful in that the family is going out together. I really enjoyed the trip to Earth. The space family does not enjoy coming here because of the traffic and that we only give out candy which is bad for your teeth, showing that there are other viewpoints on how to celebrate holidays.

There wasn't much of a story to this book but the grandkids like the fun pictures.

Art was cool, story was a missed opportunity. My kiddos were not interested ages (3,8&10).

I think my second graders would get a kick out of this. It is funny...and I'm always looking for fun and creative how to books to help them with procedural writing. In this book, the aliens travel from planet to planet going trick or treating...although there seem to be plenty of tricks and less treats...and silly, kid humor. For example, on Neptune, they rock to music. On Uranus, they are t-ped. (Go ahead and groan...kids will love this!)

Um, interesting. Kids would probably like the pictures. And the different setting of space. Some humor I think the kids would get, if they're paying attention. At least one I don't think they would get, unless they are children like the ones that I had to grow up with. Potty humor...seriously. (How do you show rolling eyes in typing?)

This book has some fun pictures and ideas about aliens trick or treating. It also has some things that don't make sense.

Really corny.
