Blast Off Boy and Blorp: First Day on a Strange New Planet
2000, Hyperion Books for Children
Written and Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino
In pictures and text, Yaccarino eloquently captures those alienating
moments--on the school bus ("Swell, the only free seat is
next to a kid with two heads. Gross."), in the classroom
("Would you tell us the square root of .769FQ87-1/2?"),
and the lunchroom ("'Oh boy!' cried Blorp. 'Titanium Tetrazzini!
You want some?'")... This excellent story is for any child about to embark on a brand-new, kind of scary experience.

Blast Off Boy and Blorp: The Big Science
Fair
2002, Hyperion Books for Children
Written and Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino
Yaccarino's characteristic comic, colorful illustrations, with
aliens and human straight out of a 1950's cartoon, add to the
hilarity. His sly sense of the absurd is not lost in the easy-to-read
vocabulary. This series is a welcome addition to the library of
those just blasting off out of easy readers.
