Why read it?
1 author picked We're Off to Look for Aliens as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I worked as a classroom assistant for ten years and read a lot of books to the younger children, and this one was always a favourite for them. The children loved the funny rhymes and there would be lots of giggles because they knew what was going to happen next. The illustrations are amazing and they inspired the children to draw their own aliens. This book was read so many times that the pages started to fall out, but they were lovingly put back by the children.
From Gillian's list on children's picture books to read aloud.
