What is We're off to look for aliens about?

Dad has written a brand-new book about searching for aliens, and now his family is ready to read it. In the story, he blasts into space and encounters a hilarious collection of strange creatures: some are furry, some are frightening, and others are simply absurd. Then he meets an alien who captures his heart. As the adventure unfolds in lively rhyme and comic illustrations, the boundary between Dad’s story and real life becomes wonderfully muddled in this playful book-within-a-book.
