Customer Reviews

Hilarious

I found this book while browsing through a small book store and I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face and got weak in the knees. This is the story of how space aliens prepare themselves to meet with the important earth tigger folk that inhabit earth. I heartily recommend this book for kids age 4 and up.

Different title, same story

The UK/Australian version is called "Dr Xargle's Book of Earth Tiggers".It is hysterical, and the illustrations terrific. The under-6 crowd perhaps don;t really "get it" - it requires the capacity to understand word jokes. The picture of the mother spooning out "meatblob" (cat food) whilst wearing a handkerchief round her face is a killer! The look of dismay on the little girl's face as the "meatblob"lands on her ice cream is priceless. Perfect depiction of the gloop in tins produced for cats!A lot of fun this book.

Hysterical!

My then-7-year-old daughter received this book for Christmas last year, and even a year later it makes her laugh! As a family of cat owners, we found the book to be as accurate as it is funny. We highly recommend this and any other "Professor Xargle" book.
