Invader from Mars: The Truth about Babies

by Peggy Robbins Janousky (Author) Karen Obuhanych (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

A hilarious new sibling story that ends with an out-of-this-world twist, for fans of Wolfie the Bunny.

One afternoon, Micah comes home to find trouble taped to the refrigerator door. His parents claim it's a picture of his soon-to-be baby sister, but Micah is sure it's a Martian.

When the baby arrives, his parents insist that she's perfectly precious--but Micah's no fool. He knows Martians do not come in peace . . .

But in a laugh-out-loud Show-and-Share day at school, Micah learns how special a baby sister can really be.

Though anxiety surrounding a new sibling is a perennially popular topic, and the big-headed, cartoonish characters cut endearing figures in Obuhanych’s digitally finished watercolor, colored pencil, and collage illustrations, this tale will leave many little ones perplexed. The hard truth is that this book’s twist doesn’t quite land.
