A palatable early-reader chapter book, with large print overlaid on vibrant full-page artwork. We blew through it in one sitting (approx. 20 mins.) There are even faux-animated flip pages depicting the giant robot vs. giant alien nightcrawler scene, for added reader interaction.
Themes of friendship, problem-solving, courtesy, and cleaning up after oneself all permeate the plot. It's clear these books harken back to previous installments, but they needn't be read in order for kids to understand what's going on. It did, however, succeed in making my kids curious. SO I expect to see them checking out some of the earlier books soon...

We are not inspired to study worms and night crawlers.
