ALIEN INVADERS/INVASORES EXTRATERRESTRES
Invasores Extraterrestres
By Lynn Huggins-Cooper , Bonnie Leick , Eida de la Vega
Age Range: 4 - 7
A young boy is convinced that an alien invasion from outer space has already occurred: The invaders are insects. He notes their modes of transport (flying and diving), their robotic legs and shiny suits, their eyes like cameras and their underground homes—their overall similarity to aliens on television. The short text is printed in large friendly letters, English above and Spanish below, facing full-page illustrations. Leick’s paintings feature life-like and often quite enlarged insects, shadowy settings, and just enough humor to avoid real fright. Not an essential purchase, but one sure to be popular in larger collections. (vocabulary list) (Picture book. 4-7)
