Fun

That was... not what I expected. There's no real plot and the graphics look like those early internet point-and-click adventure games I used to play.

Cute computer generated illustrations but the story itself is a little clunky. (And can I just mention that the fact that both babysitters are female is a bit annoying?!? Why not change it up instead of giving us the same old thing?) This one just didn't wow me, it's not bad, but it didn't wow me.

Matt liked it.

A silly story about kids and their babysitter from another planet. Fine for a storytime about space, but nothing spectacular.
Also, both babysitters are female, so not really trying....

What fun! You don't see too many straight-up science fiction picture books these days. I loved that it was all very straightforward. :)

I didn't get it. What...just...what?

The only reason it's getting two stars and not one is because I do enjoy his illustrations, but this was a disappointment for me, as I'm usually a fan of Savage's books.

With only a few words per page, this picture book shares the story of a brother and sister who encountered a babysitter from another planet when their mom and dad went out to the movies. This babysitter can do everything a human babysitter can do and MORE, including making the children float through the house. The artwork was created using digital techniques.

The story was fine. There wasn't really a conflict that felt urgent or necessary. Just a pretty straight forward story of an alien babysitter that did basic caregiving but with "quirky" powers. Nonetheless, I actually did enjoy the illustrations.
