My 5 year old loves these “There’s a “insert creature” in your book”! The illustrations are adorable and the books usually have us laughing.

This review was published on Lost in a Good Book

What I love about Fletcher’s books is how interactive they are. They require you to blow on pages, turn the book upside down, or pretend to draw on the pages. This time an alien has crashed into our book and we have to help him get home.

I love how the narration openly speaks to the reader and asks them to participate. It makes the alien into a real creature who is tampering and having consequences in and on the book itself. The text moves and changes as the narrative instructs so if you don’t follow along you may find it hard to read if you haven’t turned the book upside down, and it certainly is a lot more fun if it feels like your actions have an effect on the alien.

Abbott’s illustrations are a stand out once again. The adorableness of his creations are one reason why I love these books. While Fletcher’s words and instructions are entertaining, there is an extra level added by seeing the character react to these actions.

The story teaches kids about being helpful and also that everyone deserves to belong no matter what they look like. Being unique and different is not a bad thing and I love that Fletcher doesn’t leave it vague, he makes a point and then changes his mind to make the message clear.

If you loved having fun with Fletcher’s dragon and his monster then you will certainly love this story as well, especially since there is a nice surprise cross over.

I would rate There's an Alien in Your Book higher than five stars if it was possible, as I gave There's a Monster in Your Book five stars and I enjoyed this one even more.
It's just so cute; it gets parents and children involved, it gets the little ones really excited because of the antics of the alien as he crash lands in the book and needs our help to get home, and there's even a cameo from the Monster!
