This children's book was a great read. My young son and I
had a nice time reading this book together. Not only was it
funny but it also had enough gross things in it to keep his
attention. It is nice to see a book that will not only keep
kids attention but it also makes them want to read more. How
can kids, especially boys, pass up aliens, slime and the
golden nose hair? This may be a graphic-type novel but
it is from Scholastic so parent can be assured that it is a
good book.
Philot and Huxley must go on an adventure after they forget
to return a video game and the aliens send the grim reaper
after them to retrieve the game. He in turn sends them to
another realm where we find the sea of bees, transforming
pirates, and many other interesting things. When the
two boys finally defeat the aliens, they are once again sent
to another realm. From there we must wait for their next
adventure to see if they can eventually find their way home.
Along with great color drawings, there is a lot of dialogue
in this book. So the children are not only looking at
pictures but they are also reading and enjoying it. As a
parent myself, this is a big plus. We all want
our children to read and we want them reading good material.
THE FIRST ADVENTURE PILOT & HUXLEY by DAN McGUINESS is a
great book that will get children enjoying reading. I have
to say, even my teenager enjoyed this book. I hope that we
continue to see more of the adventures of Philot and
Huxley.
A perfect blend of silly characters and gross humor that
will make kids laugh and yell "eeeww!!!" at the same time.
When best buddies Pilot and Huxley get zapped to another
dimension by aliens who want to enslave the planet Earth,
they find that getting back home is a lot harder than saving
the world.
Both absurd and hilarious, this book is the perfect blend of
silly characters and gross humor that will make kids laugh
and yell "eeeww!!!" at the same time.
