Aliens and outer space
Aliens love underpants
When aliens come to Earth, it is for the simple reason that they love to play with and hide in freshly laundered underpants of all shapes and sizes.
Astro Bunnies
Slip on silver suits with pockets, climb up stairs to shiny rockets. Looking suspiciously like toddlers in "feety" pajamas, these inquisitive bunnies launch their rockets and zoom away. Measuring comets and gathering moondust is nothing compared to floating weightless and meeting the three-eared bunnies from another planet! But no matter where astro bunnies roam, they will always come back home, especially when it's time to snuggle down for the night.
Balloon on the moon
When his little brother's red balloon goes flying off into the sky, six-and-three-quarters-year-old Jake goes on a mission to the moon to retrieve it for him, because that is what big brothers are for.
Company's coming
Chaos erupts when Moe and Shirley invite some visitors from outer space to stay for dinner with the relatives.
Dmitri the astronaut
A hilarious tale of extraterrestrial friendship. When Dmitri returns from the moon, nobody remembers the space hero. Unbeknownst to Dmitri, Lulu, his loyal lunar pal, has stowed away in his sack of moon rocks and, while the forgotten astronaut mopes, scientists are puzzling over Lulu's crayon drawings of a mysterious creature.
Footprints on the Moon
A man remembers his boyhood fascination with the moon and the night mankind first bounced through the dust in the Sea of Tranquility.
I want to be an astronaut
A young child thinks about what it would be like to be an astronaut and go out on a mission into space.
June 29, 1999
While her third-grade classmates are sprouting seeds in paper cups, Becky has a more ambitious, innovative science project in mind.
Moondogs
Willy flies to the moon to get a moondog for a pet, but he finds true happiness with a scruffy but loyal Earth dog named Scrappy.
Papa, please get the moon for me
Monica's father fulfills her request for the moon by taking it down after it is small enough to carry, but it continues to change in size. Some pages fold out to display particularly large pictures.
Regards to the Man in the Moon
When the other kids make fun of Louie and call his father “the junkman,” his dad explains that the so-called junk he loves “can take you right out of this world”—with a little imagination. So Louie builds the spaceship Imagination I and blasts off into his own space odyssey. Reissued just in time for the fortieth anniversary of the first lunar landing, this fantastical Keats adventure celebrates the power of imagination.
Sheep blast off!
Upon finding a spaceship, sheep climb aboard and bumble around until they blast off into orbit.
The Way Back Home
One day a boy finds an airplane in his cupboard and decides to take it for a trip, whizzing past clouds and then stars and planets. But when he runs out of fuel he must make a crash landing on the moon. Just as he's beginning to wonder how he'll ever get home, a friendly Martian makes a similar crash landing and the two put their heads together to figure out a plan.
We're off to look for aliens
When an author gets his book in the mail, he’s nervous to have his family read it. And no wonder! It stars a guy who takes off in a rocket ship and meets a ghastly array of alien creatures — some smelly, some with eyes in their belly — and one lovely alien who steals his heart. Madcap rhymes and zany illustrations will tickle kids’ funny bones, while a book within a book drives home a final twist.
When Jack Goes Out
Jack the dog plays happily in his backyard with visitors from outer space, but is not so sure that he wants to go home with them.
