Bath-time, feeding, and changing nappies are all given a new slant by this alien guide to human behavior. Average Rating:

This story of an alien professor teaching his class about the strange lives of "earthlets" (human babies) must be at the top of anyone's list of children's books. (Although I have yet to find an adult who doesn't laugh outloud while reading it.)
