Another Day in the Milky Way
Putnam • Spring 2007
Written by David Milgrim

School Library Journal: The first-person narrative reads like a child relating a dream, complete with abrupt transitions and surreal events. The cartoon illustrations are also childlike and include many fun details. Dialogue appears in balloons and carries much of the story's humor (e.g., Monty's alien mother advises as he leaves the house, "Don't eat anyone"). The sheer silliness of the adventure will appeal to youngsters, as will the idea of life on another planet.
