An uproariously funny intergalactic read-aloud from the creator of The Froggies Do NOT Want to Sleep. When it's time for the aliens to go home, the excuses begin. . . .

A super silly picture book, perfect for 4-7 year olds who love to laugh and never want their playtime to end!


The alien kids are having a great time invading planet Earth. When their parents show up with spaceship tractor beams, they don't want to go home. They aren't ready, they don't have their shoes on, and besides, it's not even dark yet!

Adam Gustavson's illustrations are expressive, hilarious, and also gorgeous works of art. But most importantly, young beings of any species are sure to get their giggles out and relate to wanting the fun to go on … and on … and on.
Adam Gustavson received his Bachelor's degree in illustration from Rowan University and his Master's from the School of Visial Arts in New York.
