Today we are going to learn about Earthlets.</i> In this way Dr Xargle, our friendly alien teacher, begins to teach his class about humans and babies. <i>Earthlets grow fur on their heads but not enough to keep them warm. They must be wrapped in the hairdo of a sheep.</i> This is a hysterically funny book, with a particularly wry look at the way we bring up babies: look out for the egg-mangle--you may never want to eat eggs again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Wickedly funny . . .
