Twenty Questions
by Mac Barnett; illustrated by Christian Robinson
No wrong answers: The titular questions in this whimsical, thought-provoking volume are open-ended, working with the mixed-media illustrations to fire the imagination.
For example: "What kind of beast lives in this bathtub?"; "How did that cow get all the way up there?"; "Which of these fellows has a better singing voice?".
Re-readable: Because the answers could change every time and prompt stories of their own, kids may want to revisit this book again and again.

We are definitely human
by X. Fang
"When three mysterious visitors from "Europe" crash-land in Mr. Li's field, he does what any good host would: he invites them back to his farmhouse and offers to help fix up their "car." No, there's nothing strange about these guests at all. Just like other humans, they "make business," "play sportsball" and "wear hat." As the townsfolk also come to the aid of the visitors and the gathering turns into a little party, interplanetary relations reach an all-time high"
