Customer Reviews

My son's favorite

I'm buying my second copy of this book because my 16-month-old son has flipped through it so many times it's fallen apart. This was the first book he really seemed to enjoy, and I like it too. The illustrations seem perfect for little ones, with their bright colors and simple lines, and those nice round aliens.

Great Illustrations and Fun Text

This is currently my 15 month daughter's favorite book. Because the alien child in the book is not gender specified, we've made it into a daddy-daughter book. Which is especially nice when the Papa gives "her" a toolbelt. This is an especially good book for geeky families like ours.

Hush Little Alien

My 18 month old daughter asks me to read this book over and over again. (Okay, she hits me with it) I sing it to her in the car to calm her. The pictures are very unique, bright and colorful. The only downful is that it is not available in a board book.

Golden Duck Winner

The pictures won over the majority of our panel. They are bold colors with not too busy a background. The story is a rewrite of an old nursery song sung by a father alien to his son. "If that satellite gets away, Pappa will take you to the Milky Way."We think that this is a great book for a father to share with a child!

A great book for young children

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my seven-month-old son. He liked it immediately and I have had to read it to him every night since. I have had to hide it sometimes, because if he even sees it, he wants me to read it over and over! It is a great twist on "Hush little baby." I think one thing that makes this book fun is that you can sing it. For young children who are just learning to enjoy bedtime stories a song is very comforting before sleep. The illustrations are very colorful, and the relationship of the papa alien to his little son is patient and loving. I reccomend this book to parents looking for a book to read their babies. It has brought a lot of happiness to my son, and me too.
