Little Alien is sick. And sick is extra-terrestrial bad when you have two scratchy throats, five ears that hurt, and three runny noses. Luckily Mama and Daddy Alien have an arsenal of lunar decongestants and meteor showers on hand to make him feel a little better (not to mention a Milky Way milkshake to help the medicine go down). Even so, the family’s alien pooch, Mars Rover, can’t stand to see his little buddy feeling out of sorts. Can a loyal pup’s funny tricks finally coax a smile?
Every adult with a child in their life can relate to the ups and downs of cold and flu season. This whimsical story provides a welcome diversion for anyone suffering from the sniffles.
My Review
Aliens Get the Sniffles Too is a very cute book for the little ones in your life…especially when they are suffering from a cold! I know it can be rough getting kids to take their medicine, so watching how Little Alien takes his might just help. Little Alien also learns that sometimes laughter is the best medicine of all.
I think you and your kids will love the story as well as the illustrations that accompany it. Feeling sick is no fun, but this book is.
