The Alien Who Came for a Rubber Duck

By Michael Steffanus and Brooke Steffanus

What happens when an alien travels across the stars to solve one of Earth's greatest mysteries?

The answer is yellow, squeaky, and floats in the bathtub.

When a spaceship suddenly lands on Earth, scientists rush to investigate. They have machines. They have computers. They have theories.

Richard has a much simpler answer.

It's a rubber duck.

But knowing what it is turns out to be the easy part. The alien has an even bigger question: What does a rubber duck actually do?

Soon Richard finds himself teaching a very serious visitor from outer space about squeaks, bubbles, rubber ducks, and something the alien has never quite understood before:

FUN.

Filled with silly surprises, laugh-out-loud moments, and a whole lot of SQUEAK , The Alien Who Came for a Rubber Duck is a funny and heartwarming picture book about curiosity, play, and the kid who realizes that sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

Perfect for ages 4 - 8, family read-alouds, bedtime stories, young space fans, and anyone who has ever wondered why rubber ducks are so much fun.

Just remember: when aliens come looking for answers, don't let the scientists overthink it.
