(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Biggs. Of course nobody believes Larry the Liar when he insists that a spaceship has landed in the neighborhood; with help from the aliens, he learns to tell "his best 'whopper' yet--The Truth!" Singer's arch rhymes and Biggs's vibrant cartoony panels, pages, and spreads do much to dress up what is finally a familiar story. Alien-language-to-English translations conclude the book.
