Synopsis A transmission received from outer space in a combination of different Earth languages tells of an alien schoolboy's fantastic excuse for being late to school again.
Industry Reviews "Carefully--if zanily--adhering to the 'three-finger rule' (no more than three unfamiliar words per page), Henry P. Baloney's story might go a long way toward convincing kids that learning to read is an adventure in itself. If only all pedagogy were this much fun." Kirkus Reviews (04/01/2001)
"[T]he combination of far-out tale and groaningly corny ending...will endear this to its audience." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (05/01/2001)
"Scieszka's space-boy version of the classic dog-ate-my-homework tale is hilariously outrageous; the repetition of strange words at increasingly close intervals make the story even funnier." Time Out (New York) - Barbara Aria
