“A creative take on the Hush, Little Baby lullaby, Hush, Little Alien takes the lullaby to a whole new world. Literally. I really enjoyed the unique ideas of what an alien father might choose to get his little alien. Some are very clever and made me laugh out loud. I mean, why wouldn't a laser beam be a good idea for baby alien?”
