Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
I'm from Outer Space!
Lisa Bullard · 2014
62/100
👎 Skip It
Zeeton the alien is a fun, friendly narrator for early readers dipping into science-fiction imaginings, and the book's explicit acknowledgment that aliens are story characters rather than real beings is a thoughtful grounding move. The depth is necessarily shallow given the early-reader format, and the content is more about pop-culture alien tropes than actual space science. Perfectly fine for the Epic! platform crowd, but not a title that stands out from the early-reader field.
