Space Case by Edward Marshall and illustrated by James Marshall

A lonely UFO lands on earth, but finds that some of Earth’s inhabitants aren’t too friendly (a cow and a chicken.) Fortunately, he comes across Buddy McGee and his friends trick-or-treating and spends the next day with them. The deadpan humor will definitely get a smile or two from adults, and the vibrant, humorous pictures will have children laughing.

The kids in Room 207 are the rowdiest kids around and give poor, sweet Miss Nelson the hardest time. But one day, when the kids arrive at school, they notice something strange: Miss Nelson has gone missing, and in her place is Miss Viola Swamp, the meanest teacher ever. Where is Miss Nelson, and why is this mean teacher making them work so hard and laying down the law? A hilarious read for school-age children and parents.

Agent A to Agent Z by Andy Rash

Agent A must find a rogue spy through the alphabet or he’ll lose his lose job. This book is reminiscent of the 60’s television show, Get Smart, with the humor and over-the-top spy gadgets. My favorite spy is Agent I, going undercover as a giant mosquito, reminded me of Agent 13 in Get Smart who was always undercover as ridiculous, inanimate objects, such as a tree, washing machine, and the like.  A fun read for older children and their parents
