This fun, funny book is just what you'll want to read with any child old enough to have a sensible discussion . The jokes take simple things from life (a house, a pencil drawing) and describe them in such a way that an extraterrestrial could cover "an irregularly shaped box with a wax image" - you get the point. Such things cause laughter. but also lots of great parent-child interactions because you can ask the "well what is that REALLYβ question and answer the discussion and work on your logic
