Summary/Back cover:
You are invited to the greatest party in the universe! Make your way to Planet Zum-Zee, and try some terrifically tasty treats from outer space. Don't be late!

With floating pizzas, musical biscuits, and a wiggling, giggling cake, everyone's bound to have a delicious day on Planet Zum-Zee. But who will be brave enough to try the gloopy blue dollops?

Review:
I'm always a fan on the Tony Mitton/Guy Parker-Rees combination, and this book hasn't disappointed the high standards I've come to expect from them. Gorgeous pictures with lots of bright colours, and a rhythmical flow to the story - it could almost be set to music, I reckon! - this book appeals to boys, due to all the aliens, but would probably appeal to girls just as much.

My 3 year old loves this book, so it's definitely a keeper.

My rating: 4.3 out of 5
