Customer Reviews

Cute and simple picture book.

Science fiction. Early elementary. I would probably use this book for any elementary age. Bill is bored and thinks his owner, Mrs. Pickle, is boring. He just sits around and doesn't want to do anything she does. One day while taking a boring walk the wind blows Mrs. Pickle up into a tree and Bill into outer space. Bill lands on a purple planet and thinks it's exciting to meet all the aliens. All aliens do is lie around all day, so Bill thinks they are boring. He longs for Mrs. Pickle and teaches the aliens everything Mrs. Pickle does. The aliens help Bill go home and he tells Mrs. Pickle she's not boring and he'll never complain again.
