More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
A best-selling picture book showing an alien’s view of Earth babies.
Product Description
“Good morning, class. Today we are going to learn about Earthlets.
They come in four colours. Pink, brown, black or yellow . . . but not green.”
In this way Dr Xargle, our friendly alien teacher, begins to teach his class about humans and babies.
This is an hysterically funny book, with a particularly wry look at our natural methods and practices in bringing up babies: look out for the ‘egg-mangle’ – will you ever want to eat it again?

An amusing look at earth babies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr Xargle's Book of Earthlets (Andersen Press Picture Books) (Paperback)
This witty and hilarious alien interpretation of human babies and baby/parent relationships will have both parents and youngsters giggling. From describing common house cats as ferocious beasts,to portraying weaning as having 'the egg of a hen mangled with a prong tipped into the babies mouth nose and ears' this book is both amusing and easy to identify with for adults. Young children laugh at and enjoy the large and lively pictures of the adventurous baby. My daughter and I read it at bed time at least once a week and after three months we still giggle, if for different reasons.

We bought a copy for each set of Grandparents - great fun.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Xargle's Book of Earthlets (Red Fox picture books) (Paperback)
A great book for adults as well as older children. Makes you laugh out loud. The illustrations are what made us interested in this book in the first place as one had been used on a card we bought. They are what make the book so funny. We bought a copy for each set of grandparents. A true insight into the messiness that is kids.

What a wonderful little book! Had to get a second as my first child loved me reading this funny account of human babies so much we all but wore the spine off! Wonderfully funny, with lovely pictures. A definite favourite.
