What is Dr Xargle's book of earth mobiles about?
Professor Dr Xargle is teaching his young alien pupils about the strange and wonderful ways Earthlings get around. From Dobbin, the oldest transport of all, to bicycles, cars, trains and aeroplanes, every vehicle is examined through an alien eye. But Earth transport is not always what it seems: aeroplanes have wings but no feathers, and a train journey may lead to a surprisingly spooky destination. With lively illustrations and plenty of playful misunderstandings, this is a funny tour of Earth’s mobiles.
