Fat Men From Space Author:Daniel Manus Pinkwater "While William is held captive in a spaceship, alien armies land and wipe out the earth's supply of junk foods. The boy escapes and humans learn to like what the departing scavengers have left: wholegrain bread, milk, greens, all the healthful foods. A wildly comic fantasy with a solid moral."--Publishers Weekly.
Very funny. If you like Roald Dahl, you'll love Daniel Pinkwater. Reading level 5.1, but the silliness of this, along with the shortness--only 57 pages--make it a great read aloud book for ages 4 & up.
