June 18, 2009: My second grandson is not a fan of reading - much to my dismay. He is a fan of aliens...thus the choice of this book. The story line grabbed him, the bold illustrations thrilled him. The silly items brought to tea made him laugh. (he is a foodie!)
Imagine my delight when he came with daddy to pick me up, book in hand, asking me to read it to him on the way to his house! Yes, if you have a little kid like this - GET THIS BOOK !! I am getting more by this author for him and who knows ????
