Aliens in Underpants Save the World by Claire Freed man and Ben Cort #review #aliens #childrensbooks #series



About the book:

The beloved aliens from Aliens Love Panta Claus are back—and this time they are on a mission to save the world!

My review:

I have to begin by saying this is a series that I had never read before, so I was unfamiliar with any characters from previous books.

I thought the premise of aliens in underpants was funny to begin with but the way they saved Earth is ludicrous. The audacity of those aliens!

I loved the larger-than-life illustrations and the colorful beings both alien and human. Kids would no doubt laugh as I did look at them.

The book is all written in simple rhyme and I could see kids wanting this book read repeatedly.

Overall though the book was okay to me and not fantastic so that is why I am giving it 3 stars.

Mistletoe and Martians by Samuel DenHartog #martians #aliens #mars #humor #Christmas #traditions #bookseries




ABOUT THE BOOK:

"A whimsical journey to Snowville, a charming town where the festive spirit of Christmas is about to encounter the curiosity of visitors from Mars. As the Martians land on Earth with a mission to understand the peculiar and heartwarming traditions of Christmas, they find themselves wrapped up in a series of humorous and endearing adventures. From misunderstanding mistletoe to a comical attempt at caroling, their journey is as heartwarming as it is hilarious."

MY REVIEW:

I tend to like martian/alien stories so I thought getting this book would be a fun read. I was not disappointed at all.

Martians land on Earth as they are on an investigation quest. It just so happens they land during the season of Christmas. Fortunately, they are welcomed by the humans and  get immersed in their holiday customs. They even get parts in a nativity play! 

Humor is intertwined as the martians try to navigate their way in understanding and peace. The humans learn some of the ways of "Mars" too. We  all know martians come from Mars! 

I liked this book enough to keep reading it.  It was fun and an extremely light read. I do think if the author had flushed out some of the characters even more, it would have been an "A" book.

I did enjoy the martian characters and their honest mistakes but truly trying to understand. 

What I enjoyed most was the coming together in peace and harmony and the meshing of two very different cultures. This was a great statement on how things really should be.

I give this book 3 stars.
