Media Reviews
the verses (most of which are rhymed) roll along merrily, and Paul cranks up the silliness with page-filling views of garishly colored planets, tentacle-waving, googly-eyed extraterrestrials, and spaceships sporting many extravagant pipes and rivets. * Kirkus Reviews *
Whimsy and wordplay are the highlights. --School Library Journal * School Library Journal *
This is a lovely, lilting anthology of poems....Be sure to display this during poetry month in April-it should fly off the shelf. --Booklist * Booklist *
There is lots of ammunition to get kids writing their own space poetry here, and it's great to see a poetry book attractively produced and in full colour. * Book Trust *
