Illustrated by
Ben Cort.
The book's narrator explains that for aliens, the true allure of Earth is our undies (there are none in space), and that extraterrestrials are to blame for every pair that goes missing. Though some of the rhymes are wobbly, the book is giddy, silly fun. The illustrations don't skimp on color or activity but do maintain some level of decorum.
