About Zoomer's Out-of-This-World Christmas
Product Description Celebrate Christmas with the lovable, hilarious dog Zoomer! It's the day before Christmas, and Zoomer and his brothers are outside looking for signs of Santa Claus—and then a spaceship from outer space lands in their backyard! They all have fun playing with their new alien friends. But a piece of the space family's saucer goes missing, and they won't be able to get back home in time for Christmas. It looks like there's no hope for blastoff. Then clever Zoomer comes to the rescue with the perfect low-tech solution. With aliens, Christmas, and dogs, Ned Young's picture book is definitely out of this world. From School Library Journal K-Gr 2-On the day before Christmas, Zoomer the pup and his brothers, Hooper and Coope, are hanging out in their tree house, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus. However, they forget all about him when a spaceship lands in the backyard, bearing a friendly family of antennaed aliens, a cool robot, and the family pet (sort of a cross between an elephant and a caterpillar). The pups and aliens spend a splendid afternoon together, sharing a picnic lunch, a rousing game of "zlammaroo," and a dip in the portable force-field pool. When the aliens' father discovers that the spaceship was damaged in the landing, Zoomer gives up his beloved tricycle so the space family can get home in time for Christmas. His kindness does not go unnoticed by Santa, and he is appropriately rewarded. This is a silly holiday tale with bright, cheerful illustrations and a good message about sharing and welcoming newcomers. Fans of Zoomer's first two books will not be disappointed.-Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library α(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. From Booklist In this third Zoomer caper, three beagle dogs, including the pup, Zoomer, are watching for Santa from their perch in a tree house on Christmas Eve. Then something flies past and crashes in the backyard. Instead of Santa’s sleigh, however, they find an enormous spaceship, which quickly disgorges an extraterrestrial family (mother, father, three kids); their robot; and their monster pet, carrying a gigantic picnic basket strapped on its caterpillar-like back. All kinds of high-tech revelry ensue. The boisterously bright illustrations overflow with these Seussian extraterrestrial inventions. But the spaceship is stalled forever without Zoomer giving up his favorite toy. Unexpected yuletide fun with a nice kicker about generosity. Preschool-Grade 2. --Connie Fletcher Review "In this third entry in an imaginative series, Zoomer the zestful hound dog hits his stride with a wacky Christmas Eve visit from aliens who crash-land in the field near his house. Kids will connect with this wildly exuberant fantasy, and Zoomer seems destined to zoom off into further ingenious adventures in unexplored territories." -KIRKUS REVIEW "This is a silly holiday tale with bright, cheerful illustrations and a good message about sharing and welcoming newcomers. Fans of Zoomer's first two books will not be disappointed." - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL From the Back Cover A Christmas Eve crash landing.
