Part of the Dr Xargle series
An alien teacher hilariously explains the quirks of Earth babies to his class.
Dr. Xargle, an alien teacher, introduces his class to the peculiarities of Earth babies. From their sparse head fur to their need for sheep-like wrappings, his lessons offer a comical perspective on human parenting. As the class learns about the mysterious 'egg-mangle,' readers are left questioning their breakfast choices. Dive into this whimsical exploration of Earth's tiniest inhabitants and discover the humor in everyday life.
From an award-winning picture book team comes a hilarious alien’s eye-view of Earth babies Good morning, class. Today we are going to learn about Earthlets. In this way Dr Xargle, our friendly alien teacher, begins to teach his class about humans and babies. Earthlets grow fur on their heads but not enough to keep them warm. They must be wrapped in the hairdo of a sheep. This is a hysterically funny book, with a particularly wry look at the way we bring up babies: look out for the egg-mangle–you may never want to eat eggs again.
